I assume you are talking about British colonial rule? That is one factor but does not apply 100%. Neither Thailand or Japan were ever a British colony but they have RHD.Originally posted by TwinTurbo_Supra:i think it's the countries that were under colonial rule before that have right hand drive cars.
actually there is a history about why Indonesia chose RHD. It's because for a time Batavia was briefly under British rule and it was the british who enforced the left-hand traffic thing.Originally posted by Dijon:I assume you are talking about British colonial rule?

Indonesia was a Dutch colony and the Dutch have LHD but the Indonesians have RHD!![]()

Got, use that $1 billion to bribe an embassy to allow you to register your car with them.Originally posted by Tayysj:so if a singapore citizen had 1 billion dollars and wants an Merc SLR McLaren plate number (example) SGZ 1
that would be absolutely impossible? is there any way to go around the system to own a LHD? (the above is just an example)
