Rhd

I was just reading a post on right hand drive cars. How difficult is it to shift versus left hand drive? Same? (of course I meant a stickshift car)

Just takes some getting used to...after a while I don't see how it would be any more difficult.

People who are used to driving lhd cars have blown up rhd cars and vice versa.

I've driven a RHD Teg before, not that bad. I couldn't fly through gears like I can shifting with my right hand though.

i dont think i would either.. i suppose you would get better control of the wheel in a RHD car.. but it would be countered by the lack of coordination shifting gears.

ive drove a quite a few RHD cars,...once you get use to it then its not hard at all,..at first you might make a gear or 2 scream if you try to shift fast

Is everything reversed? like clutch on the right side and 1st gear next to your left leg?
Or is the pedal and gear layout the same as usdm? Just on the opposite side?
