It\'d be nice but...

touchy subject.....imagine trying to overtake a road train and not being able to see if anything coming the other way.buddy steve only drives his 69BB at night on highway so he can see any other cars coming....but then you got roos to worry about.

Just trying to stir up some controversy, and get a bit of discussion going!!! What I'm trying to say is that we should have a choice! but not be forced to spend 10's of thousands of dollars for no reason! When everybody else in the world seems to be capable of driving vehicles left or right hand drive, our country seems to be way way behind the rest of the world!
Imagine if you could bring in C4,5,6's without changing them over.....you could get a C5 here for less than $40,000!
I guess with straight roads in the desert it would be hard to overtake a road train!
I just wait for a corner or a hill to see whats going on ahead before overtaking, its not worth risking your life for the sake of getting somewhere a few minutes earlier! Also its probably a little easier for me cause I've been driving LHD since 1998!

Ok who's the guy with the can opener, the worms are escaping:22
Driving a LHD car in an overtaking situation is simple. You do not overtake unless you can see the road ahead is clear and it's safe to do so. It's the same common sense you use when driving a RHD car. IF YOU CAN'T SEE IT'S SAFE THEN YOU DON'T OVERTAKE. Admittedly when you do drive a LHD vehicle you do tend to hold back a bit more from the vehicle you're wanting to pass and there a probably less opportunitys to pass, however you don't pass unless you're 100% sure.
I have found that people who don't drive LHD vehicles seem to think that there are problems in driving them, yet the people who actually do drive LHD vehicles don't have a problem with them at all.
69 DIRTY RAT:
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!
jolinari:
just a matter of time i reckon! all about the demand and supply
