Thats what I was trying to say!without offending RHD drivers. Like I said, the rest of the world is ok with it...why is it such a problem here???? People are scared of what they dont know and havent experienced!
I just opened me a can of WOOP-ASS!

My understanding from reading all the RTA/DOTARS info on the web is that it's no so much for safety's sake but you don't have to convert the older ones because they are not considered a threat to the current local car market.
I couldn't find any info suggesting it's a safety issue..... only an economic one.
And on a more personal note, I have still only driven my vette a few times on the road, and when asked by people how it is to drive a LH car.... I really couldn't tell them.
There are much greater things to worry about when driving a BB C3 than what side of the car your sitting on
;41
nifty:
final comment...how do you order KFC from the lh side in a drive through?
wayovermyhead:
I had thought about it and simply concluded you would have to park and go inside...... but...... I just had an idea!!!
Just drive through in reverse!!!
I frequently drive past stanmore maccas which is the most profitable in Oz and at 2 oclock in the morning it is FULL of wogs and their fully sik duff duff just standing around in the car park, and the line for the drivethrough is about 20 cars long.
I can just imagine how it would look now.
I am laughing out loud as I type this. ;43

I do understand the economic side, yes they do want to protect the industry...BUT then why let in all those stupid used doof doof piece of craps in from Japan!!!!!!!
Australia & NZ are dumping grounds for those Japanese cars,most of those are only newish as well!!!! Just because they are RHD does that mean its ok then!!!!!!
They are just as much an economic burden on our car industry. If thats the case then ban those cars or impose a $30000 tax on them as we cop for converting Vettes to RHD!!!!!!!
In other words......Discrimination!
STUPID,DUMB,DORKY,OUT OF TOUCH POLITIANS WITH NO IDEA ABOUT REAL LIFE are the biggest problem!
I HAVE TO WORK WITH THEM SO I KNOW HOW STUPID THEY ARE!
I did the story on Rosendal (Min. for Roads NSW) yesterday....that just proves how out of touch politicians are!!!!! quote "traffic times have stayed the same for the past 10 years, they havent got worse"...he gets a limo & driver to work from Vaucluse...what would he know about how much people suffer on the way to work!
RTA/Dotars wont say they are worried about safety of LHD's but I can asure you that is in the back of there minds! Like I said most Police think LHDs are dangerous.
With drive thru's... Vettes are that low down that you cant reach the window anyway! I usually park! Anyway if I drove through the Dirve thru I would probably kill them with my Side Pipe fumes and noise!;50
