      You all so bright thats why tortola vehicle door opening is on the roadside and not on the pave side of tge road. Your road laws calls for right hand vehicle >keep left< lol. If you want to have your left hand vehicle tell the cabinet to amend their laws so you can keep right with your left hand drive.

        Your road system is backward acvoring to you. Because if you want to have left hand drive you should drive on tge right side of the road. Those LHD you love so much is not for your road system its for countries that have you driving on the right side of the road.
        PS they persons bringing in RHD are doing the riggt thing because RHD is for tola road system. We not telling u change you system its already there for RHD. lol.
