One among the highly debated topics among vehicle lovers is whether to go for right hand drive or left hand drive vehicles. The debate has propelled due to the entry of JDM (Japan domestic market) vehicles. Let us take wrangler -RHD JEEP as our topic of interest and discuss. The choice depends on various factors. First of all it depends on the country you reside. If it follows Right hand side roadside techniques, it is good to have steering at the right. There are so many instances of accidents just because the countries roadside traffic is not designed having RHD safety in mind. Secondly, it depends on whether you are a right hander/left hander. Generally a right hander prefers to have left steering and have his gear shifts at right. Thirdly, it depends on how comfortable you are with right side gear/left side gear. Ideally speaking if you have learnt in a RHD vehicle despite being a right hander, chances are more that you still prefer RHD for driving.
LHD jeeps are costlier than RHD jeeps provided they have the same configuration. On the other hand the resale value of RHD jeep is quite low and to carry out the task is quite tough. There are misconceptions that the RHD vehicle has different gear shift positions against LHD vehicle. The only difference is the change in steering location. Going down technical, if you are so obsessive about buying a JDM -RHS jeep to USA , then you have to analyze yourself well before proceeding whether to retain the same RHS steering or not.
A conversion from RHD to LHD and vice versa is possible now. The conversion spectrum includes changing dashboard, repositioning clutches, wipers, brake systems, firewalls and the door panels. Some changes are specific to the car design. It is always important to carry out analysis before buying a RHD vehicle and conduct test drives so that you are sure that you are not taking a risk for which you will lament later!

Do you sit between co-workers or better yet, your boss and manager at dinner meetings, only to lock elbows with one of them, when you eat or better yet send your bun flying or take their bun because you are left handed?
Do you end up planting a kiss on the lips of a complete stranger, because they wanted to do the double cheek kiss hello, and you, being left handed, started to kiss them on the opposite cheek first, only to meet in the middle on the lips?
Or how about taking a course for work, and end up sitting at those old fashioned desks, with the right sided table on them. You have to twist yourself around to actually use it, and your class mates think you are trying to cheat?
Writing in a binder is another challenge, since the rings are always in the way of your left hand, and you actually breathe a sign of relief when you finish that page and can write on the back of the page?
Left handedness, was once looked upon as evil in the 1700's, and even in the early 1800's, people with a tendency for left handedness, would have their left hand tied to their body, so they would be forced to use their right hand.
Luckily, we are no longer like that, and although only 7 to 10% of the population is left handed, many of them have risen to be very successful business owners, artists, musicians, presidents and more.
Us left handers have to be creative, in finding ways to live in a right handed world.In the above problems, I would first, make sure to sit at the far left end of a restaurant table, leaving my left hand free and away from people. I would wait for a person to pick a side to kiss my cheek and then follow their lead, and I would take notes on a clip board on my lap rather than twist around in those right sided desks!.. and I would take the paper out of the binder to write on it.
But you can also purchase left handed products now to make life that much easier. Imagine being able to open a can, write without smearing the ink, even cut your shrubs in the yard, there are so many products out there now, you can jump for joy and go "finally"!.. Remember those token dull "lefty" scissors in the craft box at school?.. We have come a long way since then..Your left hand no longer has to get you in trouble!

How come left-handed people cant do things with their right hands?

The same reason right handed people don't do things with their left hands. It's what comes natural.

Operating an automobile and learning the rules of the road can often be a difficult feat to accomplish, especially if doing so in a different country than the one you originally learned. Nevertheless, getting used to our automobiles is something that we all must do.
Whether you are driving an automatic transmission automobile, manual transmission, right hand drive car, or even left hand drive car, there is usually always something new to be learned when switching to a new car. Right and left hand drive cars can especially be difficult to get used to if you have learned to drive in a place where the steering wheel was only on the right or the left.
The History of Left Hand Drive Cars: There are plenty of countries in the world that have had long-standing traditions of left and right hand drive cars as well as laws of the land that have been in place for centuries pertaining to the rules of the road and the flow of traffic. England has an especially interesting traffic history. In the late 1990s archaeologists in England found a well-preserved ancient path and track where horses were used for travel.
From their discovery, they deduced that horseback riders would generally keep to the left while traveling as well as steer the horse with their left hands. Needless to say, that tradition has been kept throughout the centuries in England.
However, the tradition of left-hand traffic in Britain was made secure through a law that was passed in the 1700s. This law, The Highway Act 1773, was essentially an order and law for all traffic to keep to the left while driving. On the other hand, the same time period had the United States changing its rules of the road from the left to the right-hand traffic because of the setup of horse-driven freight wagons. That tradition has been kept as well, and mainly right-hand drive vehicles are now produced in the United States.
Countries with Left Hand Drive Cars: Many places throughout the world, and perhaps the majority of countries, have left hand drive cars with right-hand lane traffic. However, some countries do primarily use left hand drive vehicles with left hand traffic as well. Left hand drive automobiles have the steering wheel on the left side of the car (the driver's side) and are primarily made for right hand traffic, though.
One example, as discussed above, which does primarily use vehicles with the steering wheel on the left side of the car as well as left-lane traffic flow, is the United Kingdom. This is much different from the United States where left hand drive cars are used, but right-hand lane traffic is the supreme law in almost all areas.
Even though a country may have mainly left hand drive cars, though, right handed vehicles are also sometimes allowed. For example, left hand drive cars are mainly used in the United Kingdom, but automobile consumers still exercise their right to purchase right-hand drive vehicles from other various European importers. On the other hand, some countries ban the use of wrong-side steering wheel automobiles so that no confusion exists within the country's traffic flow.
All in all, left hand drive cars are certainly popular by many individuals throughout the world today. With many of the major automobile manufacturers specializing in producing left hand drive vehicles, one can be almost certain that this trend will continue throughout time.
