75 countries Drive on the LEFT hand side.
Today, only four European countries continue to drive on the left: Cyprus (500,000), Ireland (4.5 Mil), Malta (400,000) and the United Kingdom (60 mil). All are island nations, and as such none shares a physical border with a country that drives on the right; all were once part of the British Empire. Some Commonwealth countries and other former British colonies, such as Hong Kong (7 mil), New Zealand (4 mil), Australia (23 mil), India (1 bil), Pakistan (173 mil), Malaysia (23 mil) and South Africa (50 mil) continue to drive on the left, but others such as Canada, Gambia, Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and the United States drive on the right. Other countries and territories which drive on the left are Thailand (65 mil), Indonesia (450 mil) and East Timor (1 mil) in Southeast Asia (593 mil), Suriname (500,000, Japan (110 mil), the U.S. Virgin Islands (120,000) and Macau (84 mil). Most Pacific countries (14 mil) drive on the LEFT.
Approximately 2 Billion people are not serviced by GM. I KNOW that the majority of these 2 billion are not in the market for a Vette but I have to ask one question….WHY IS GM NOT BUILDING A RIGHT HAND DRIVE VETTE TO SERVICE SOME OF THESE COUNTRIES? My answer is as follows: Apart from the time and expense required (like all businesses in the world) I believe that GM is an insular company. They are old and Grey and have not moved with the times therefore they have been “LEFT” behind. Toyota sells it’s products in every one of the countries mentioned above (including most right hand drive countries as well such as the USA). If GM and the US Government were serious about being world competitive with it’s products then surely they would consider a left hand drive Corvette and other models?
