Left or right hand drive. Because these right hand drive don’t hold Their side.. Facts...They stay most too the on coming car.The down island people buy these right hand drive cars,it’s cheaper but we use left hand drive for years knowing myself,BvI change with left hand drive.They don’t hold they side. Down island left, BvI right. Get u’ll Right mind ...
Look at the taxi buses, the left hand drive buses open their doors to the right, we drive on the left which means passengers will have to get in and come out onto oncoming traffic. I know you have seen it many times on the beginning of the highway by the roundabout. The right hand drive buses open doors to the left and let passengers onto the side walk which is the proper way. Us using left hand drive vehicles in the BVI was wrong to begin with. In the UK they drive on the Left like us and use right have drive vehicles. Any country drives on the left uses right hand drive and vise versa.
