Thank you guys for watching!
Reversing through drive thru is worth the looks of shock.
CaliiCrook do you guys actually have to reverse into a drive through??
I have a rhd boat and no thanks. That shit is retarded just have a passenger or go inside
No you just unbuckle and lean over. It's not a big crazy reverse through the drive thru situation at all.
04srt4champ I’m not a big boi lmao reaching over that far is hard af
@@tehidiotboys3010 yes😂😂
If you can’t drive a car from 2 feet over on the right side then you shouldn’t drive at all .
Passing on a highway is easy , fall back and look ahead.
Agreed 100% !
Lowcals I drive a jzx110 and travel from BC to Calgary often without a problem .
I have seen guys run a back up camera on the left side pointing front and with a screen on the dash that way they can see on coming traffic without having to lean over or move into the left lane.
Wrong. Just gun it and pray... If your cars fast enough it shouldnt matter... And if its not... It wont matter XD
That’s really the only reason that it’s a little less unsafe. It’s also one of the two main reasons undertaking is dangerous. Passing on a blind side of the car does add risk. 2 feet does make a difference when you’re going 65-70mph. Should it be an issue if you’re careful? No. But there’s no doubt there will be less visibility when you start an overtake. That’s just a fact.
*goes to signal a turn*
windshield wipers: ayyyyyy what's good 😂😂
Lmao classic newbie move
Gio Luna I literally do this all the time! Feel retarded Lol 😂
Only if it is from Japan right? My E91 is from the UK and the levers are the same as in Portugal where we drive lhd
Right so the indicators are on the right and wipers on the left , is that the same everywhere
@@user-ez4ny5kd7x It depends on the market where the car was sold or where was it made. Most cars in the UK have indicator switches on the left but some Asian car makers have them on the right (probably their main market is Japan) I had a Hyundai Getz and a friend of mine had a Suzuki swift those had the indicator on the right, but My Vauxhall Corsa, Skoda Octavia, and also my brothers Golf has the indicator on the left.
Ban my mail man his vehicle is rhd lol
Lmao who's gonna deliver the car parts ???
Lowcals I'll pick up 👌🏼
Most postal trucks/vans are rhd as well as a host of other government vehicles, so I don’t see how they have a leg to stand on with making it illegal. What about the couple super cars that drive from the center?
Rhd has saved my aunts life twice. Major accidents and both impacts were on the left side of the car.
is your aunt a mail carrier?
@@PostalReptiles nope.
Too late..already bought one
In my dreams
Perfect !!
Very solid and informative video! Really hoping that we don't end up banning RHD cars in Alberta as I want to get a Skyline in a few years. Thanks for making this!
Fingers crossed !! Make sure to vote haha
Oh .... Alberta banned RHD car? I like to import my Mercedes RHD from Hong Kong.
@@gbush1620 not banned. They're planning on banning imports eventually though but it's seems too difficult a task atm
Did it happen?
Importing a skyline isnt the hard part. PAYING for it is 😭 theyre so expensive now
RHD is fire especially after playing passenger for most of life 🤣🤣🤣
I drive RHD and have No problems I understand your points
Yup!!
In Japan, both LHD (for import car like BMW, Mercedes) and RHD (for local made Honda, Toyota) coexist and no problem.
I like how you explained a little bit about yourself and your cars at the beginning low key flexing
Lmao gotta establish myself as a reliable source
5:10 I'm pretty sure that they're talking about the fact that on lhd cars, the passenger side mirror is less magnified to help you see more when your driving on the right hand side of the road. Doesn't matter how much you adjust it.
The human mind always adapts no matter what
Don't forget the strict out of province inspections we do in Alberta when these cars are brought in compared to an insurance inspection when you buy used off say Kijiji where they basically make sure the car has lights and windows, and being an enthusiast owning a RHD car, I maintain it. Enthusiasts typically take really good care of their pride and joy. There are some pretty unsafe cars on the roads but my car that passed a strict OOP less than a year ago is a danger? Good solid video imo.
Very true ! Valid points 👌
In Spain if we want a jdm car, in most cases it’s going to be rhd
Same here !
By definition if it’s JDM it will always be RHD. The only exception are cars that were only made in LHD.
This is a VERY good video from a young guy. You are a good driver beyond your years my man! As a professional driver with 30 years of over 3,000,000 logged miles, with safety being the #1 priority, I have a little insight. Most everyone believes they are the best driver on the road but this couldn't be farther from the truth. If there is any doubt in your mind as to your safety and awareness when driving, please stay away from RHD. With patience and safety in mind, let me go over a few things with you. Many people driving a rhd vehicle misjudge their lane and drive way to close to center, please be aware of this and do your best to not be that person. Also, assume you are in a yield turn lain in an intersection but there is a large truck in the opposite yield turn lane and you can't see around him to safely make your left hand turn because you can not properly see oncoming traffic. Same thing when passing on a 2 lane 2 way highway. Just don't do it unless you know for sure it's safe. Be the person that leaves nothing to chance and is willing to not be pressured by a few horn honks in order to wait until it's 100% safe to make the turn. One other thing that may help for both above stated issues would be a forward facing camera mounted on the left front of vehicle with a monitor inside the vehicle so you can see in real time what's happening. Not that you'll have to mount the camera to the front of the vehicle because if you mount it to the side of the fender, the view will be blocked when you are edging out to make your turn. One more part to this is the issue with going through the fast food drive throughs though if you have very long arms, it might just work. =) Just use comin sense no unnecessary distractions and with safety in mind at all times. P.S. I would argue that if your vehicle was only occupied 1x by the driver only, being in a rhd in a right hand lane and being in the most common head on collisions where it's the left front of the car that take the most significant amount of damage, you may very well be far safer in that scenario being a rhd driver.
I've been a driver for more than 20 years and enjoy driving. Or, more precisely, I did until I moved to the UK. First, it was really dangerous to be a pedestrian from Europe, and I could have been injured several times without the road warnings "look right/left" - they are live savers! Second, even though I bought a British car and have been driving for two years, I'm not relaxed and do not enjoy driving anymore. It's not just to adapt to the car - that's the easiest part. It's the fact that the brain remembers "the other side rules". We do many things automatically while driving and react without thinking - which is essential in some situations. I live in a rural area, but every single time the car comes from the opposite direction, I have a strange feeling that "something is wrong". Once, when I had to react quickly, I did it wrong because of the memories - our brain memorises, but our body too, and my reaction was spontaneous. Luckily, nothing bad happened, but I can't wait to sit in the left-hand car again and drive on EU roads. I hope soon. It isn't worth the fuss to drive a UK car in Europe, and I want to feel happy again while driving, which I'm not at the moment. I'm just stressed. Blah. So my advice is - no, don't bother.
Feel like a lot of these problems can be eliminated if you get RHD as your first car
Going the opposite way.I had no issues with going from RHD to LHD, while driving around Alberta. Besides, getting used to using my right hand to change gears, and the wiper stalk/signal stalk change over. So any issues really, are really trivial. Good video. :)
Definitely agree 👌
imagine getting food at a drive through in reverse
It’s easier to go from RHD to LHD than the other way if you are right handed imo. Other than that it’s the same. Yeah you have to use your non dominant mirror more often but it should be set up right anyway.
I drove a RHD crafter van through continental Europe and the only issue was my passenger kept leaning forward and blocking the mirror lol
I had no trouble at all moving from RHD to LHD here in the UK. There's a technique for learning to stay in the centre of your lane by a top UK driving instructor, Ashley Neal - see here th-cam.com/video/IRTPVDo68aY/w-d-xo.html where he says how to do it in a RHD car by taking note of where your left knee is. Just swap left knee for right knee in LHD and it works fine, well it does for me, and instantly stopped me from drifting too close to the centre line. Try it..!
You said RHD 69 times 😂
Nice
Nice
I have driven a right hand drive vehicle for the past decade in Canada & I love it no safety issues at all
What happens if you have a passenger and get t-boned from the right in a LHD car?
Pornhub&Chill? The passengers leg gets destroyed
What about the other way around aha
The main variations are:
Factory sets up toe in tow out to the road type, eg rhd or lhd roads.
Spring rate settings used to be different on left front to right front
Headlight lenses are different rhd vs lhd
Other than that and all the discussion around being hit are not valid
Luckily in South Africa we have right hand drive. So left hand drive cars are the dangerous ones here.
ive had experience with both lhd and rhd in The Netherlands and UK the roads in uk is created for rhd and the roads for The Netherlands are created for lhd because imagine you drive a rhd car on the right lane of the road and a van or lorry is driving in front of you and you want to take over the problem is you can't see if on coming traffic is coming so you need a passenger to look out for you. I've experienced this many times its very dangerous.
Good to hear that rooster again👍🏼 before this video i honestly thought rhd was more dangerous based on what people with no experience were telling me. I gotta say you changed my mind haha
That was the purpose !! Glad you had an open mind 👌
And the crazy irony is the US Virgin Islands mandates driving on the left side and, virtually every vehicle in use there is LHD since they have to pass US EPA and NHTSA standards.
ive driven my mail jeep rhd for 100,000 miles, no problems, just hard to order through drive thrus lol
Thank you. That was super helpful. I have driven RHD cars all my life in my home country. I am considering to buy a RHD car in Canada now but it gave me a headache to see you drive a RHD car in all that traffic. Seriously reconsidering.
The light positioning is funny to me. Their headlights could be pointed at the sky and they’d still find a way to shine in my eyes so not really a good point made by them
I'm in Australia and you're on the right side of the car (literally) LOL
just install a simulator truck or car driving on PC and try drying RHD. You will see that it has its benefits. I like it more than LHD.
Oh yeah, this is my stagea, i also have a supra Rz, No big deal 🤷🏼♂️
I am already driving RHD, why am I watching your video?😁
Great video. Random video selection and didn’t expect you to be from Alberta, it was cool to see familiar Calgary streets. From Edmonton.
In Australia we have been able to legally register 30 year odd LHD veichles for normal use. Check the reason why the USA changed from RHD to LHD you will find it was POLITICAL.
Driving a RHD vehicle is in direct association to what people have for spatial knowledge " the ability to know where space is being used". So Yes if a person has poor spatial knowledge they do know in advance they shouldn't try driving a RHD vehicle. So there is your 1 out of 3.
You can either drive or not drive I have driven left hand drive vehicles in the UK and you just have to get more space and time
My personal experience always says RHD is more comfortable than LHD cuz shifting gear and and using indicator you don't have to lift your Right Hand from steering.
RHD is standard in my country so we can drive cool Japanese cars with ease
Well im left hand guy so i want right hand drive so my right hand will be the on wheel and my left will be on a stick shift.
I got a jdm for my first manual car...i cant even drive stick...im fucked
Actually, parallel parking makes enough sense in a right-hand drive car. I have had dreams where my first car was a right hand drive and did well in them.
Passing large semi trucks in RHD vehicle is suicide... (on two lane roads)
Answer #4 question mirror designed for RHD roads. If you notice RHD are the mirrors are different. I have mk6 gtl and recently did power foldings mirrors of RHD golf r. Yes they are different, because it’s made for RHD roads (objects) You can just swap you or old mirrors to address that. You should know that.
Have you ever thought of converting the steering wheel to left hand drive, if not, then why not? Thanks in advance
Hello! I'm like a year late to the party but WOW THAT IS A DIFFICULT TASK, with all the aftermarket extremely rare parts time effort and things to need and replace overall it just really wouldn't be worth it. It'd cost you more to buy a rhd supra for example with low kms and swap it than it would just to buy a lhd supra with low kms. And I know some models don't come with lhd variants but in that case you would probably need to fabricate your own parts and believe me that shit is HORRID to do let alone insure.
I also think about maybe install a wide angle camera monitor . so that I can see what's coming on the other side when doing a left turn at the traffic lights.
If you have a co-pilot instead of a passenger it would solve everything
USA viewer here who has never driven before. I see in only 1 eye (my LEFT eye). For someone who sees out of their left eye, does a RHD car hold any advantages vs the usual LHD as found in the US? I would think the usual LHD would pose problems for someone who doesn't see at all in their right eye. Whereas in an RHD car, the left eye is closer to the centre of the car.
its depends on the street way so the right steering cars better in UK India and Japan and left steering better on US and other countries that use the same way of street
Been daily driving my R32 skyline for a few months in the USA. No issue whatsoever
New Lhd vehicles can't be registered here in South Africa.
There's front facing cameras that can help with visibility on the left side of Rhd cars or vice versa
Well I fell in love with rhd when I bought my E91. It's better for me and people always ask me about how difficult it is to shift, but I had no issues getting used to it. And the part where he mentioned that your dominant hand is on the steering wheel if you need to shift while turning? Well I'm a leftie and I don't have problems with turning and shifting just because my dominant hand is on the shift knob. Maybe that's also the reason why I had no issues with getting used to shift with my left hand, I don't know, what do you think?
Diogo Mesquita gears are way easy with left hand then right hand. Or I just am more lefty the righty.
I’m Australian soooo ya
Well I don’t have a choice but to drive a RHD
I’m picking up my first rhd integra today I’m excited
I’m looking into getting a RHD because I think it’s cool af but they are expensive to buy or import into Canada
its not more dangerous but inconvient. you cant make left hand turns and you'll just be pissing off the people behind you .
I like having my dominant hand on the steering wheel while I shift
Sooo it’s probably not a good idea to buy a rhd car as ur first manual car?
RHD is better if you are right-handed.
The best RHD cars are the Australian designed and manufactured Fords from 1999-2013.
Thanks for the video!
I drive a pulsar Gtir rhd and the only thing that sucks is passing on highway with big trucks lol
I am british so i drive mostly rh drive although i always drive lhd abroad both europe an us/canada.also as you mentioned dominant right hand.. not sure why you guys buy rh drive
You can buy a brand new Jeep Wrangler with right hand drive in the United States.
yess finally a jdm driver who has a yt in alberta btw i live in edmonton and i want a jdm car
Bro I drive on the left. also why do I see so many right hand drivers wtf in america
I miss my JDM GC8 ahhh
Time for another ??
RHD vs LHD is a pointless arguments because it depends on the driver.
Bro said the roads weren’t designed specifically for LHD then went on to explain ample reasons as to how the road (in Canada) is designed for LHD
Hey i live in Alberta and might be getting a 350z rhd and as you drive I noticed you’re in Calgary area lol that’s sweet
Thank you for convincing me I can handle this no problem. :)
You call that 'busy' intersection?
couldn't explain better !
I live in the USA, do you think maintenance/repair parts costs more? Or is harder to obtain/find?
How do you find maintains your car imports? Parts etc is it difficult?
Of course it going to be confusing driving RHD in a LHD country and might cause more accidents if not comfortably assimilated. But If it ain't RHD, it ain't JDM.
Yup!!
Is it true that rhd cars have the clutch n gas pedal flipped
Thank you for this video!!
I hate videos that start out “ what’s up guys” that’s where I stop and move on to the next ..... no sub here !!
Anybody know where to buy one overseas to ship to the states
Oh god such a load of shit. i never had a hard time driving rhd in a lhd country. sounds like Canadian politicians got their pockets open to the car manufacturers and dont want used rhd cars being purchased by Canadians. they want you to buy new lhd cars. its not even that many compared to the majority population. the only people that drive rhd are enthusiasts or mail man. and thats a very small percentage. if its so dangerous then why do they let mail man drive rhd?
8:41 me who is left handed 💀💀
try to drive american lhd vehicle in the uk or japan. its very dangerous with blindspot especially with passenger in the vehicle. have fun going through roundabouts with lhd vehicle in uk. lol
Are the pedals of an RHD in the same positions as an LHD ?
I'm left handed. I've always had trouble operating phones and radios with my right hand. Do RHD people have this prob if they are right handed?
That's a little surprising. Most of us lefties, in my experiance, are fairly ambidextrous out of necessity.
Not really, havent had any problems with it lol
No it's easy to figure out !
It must be our brains and the right side of the brain must control the most of the body probably why many people are right handed and way less are left handed. I think it’s better because it looks weird left hand drive having the clutch on the outside.
Good vid, lots of useful info 👍👍👍
Thank you! Hopefully it helped shed some light 👌
very good video, I am about to buy a RHD Toyota land cruiser 😎
Japan people they do have a right hand from car
I want my first car to be a JDM so idk if it's a good idea for me to get an Import
its not easy to own a jdm
Hey, I really appreciate the vid but I just wanted to know if you recommend a rhd car to a new driver. I want an ae86 and wanna move to Tokyo but I still wanna buy the ae86 and do all the mods in NA then move to Tokyo if I still want to.
Ahh hell no I thought u where gana drive the supra
I am thinking of buying a subaru forester rhd manual is it hard learn to shift with your left arm
Going through Mcdonalds can be a pain haha
This camera needs some glasses
I’m in nz and our cars are rhd
which country this?
how is insurance ??? thinking of buying a ae86
