Can the driver seat be on the left hand side in Singapore?
Thanks. Sorry for asking this stupid question. -
every now and then you see US embassy or navy vehicles on the road here ... with a sign that hangs down the back that says left-hand drive vehicles ...Originally posted by Rustyhong:Can the driver seat be on the left hand side in Singapore?

not sure about civilian vehicles though .....
to be honest I much prefer it on the left side ... it feels more natural actually ... even if you're right handed, left hand on the steering wheel feels more natural somehow ... -

why?
my guess : right hand on the gear feel more comfortable cause you right-handed? -
well ... when I first started driving left side cars, I couldn't get used to it ... but after a while ... the reverse become true for me ... especially if you're driving a manual car, using the right hand to shift gears seems just more "right" somehow .... though I'm right handed, left hand on the steering wheel feels better also ... I read somewhere that the left hand is actually more precise that right for most people, even for right handed people ... (and it seems to be true ... think guitar, violin etc ... )Originally posted by ~WRX sti~:Y??? y it is more natural...?
well .. there are actually more left hand drive countries than right actually ... we're in the minority in Singapore ...

hmmm quite surprising not many ppl know that singapore follows the british... we were once a british colony you know thats why in school we are taught british english too same for driving. Right hand drive. But its quite weird that the british allows left hand drive cars on the road too if im not wrong
