What side of the road do they drive in the Middle East, India and Far East? Japan I know is also RHD.


Also...just a thought Squirrel_Hunter shared with me this morning...do they have a side of the road to drive/ride on in India? When you see it on TV, it loks like a total free for all...lol

There is a video on youtube of someone pulling away on a blade in the alps, only they have a temporary memory lapse and ride straight on into an oncoming car.
