You Can Drive In The Right Seat In The US?

[JimBoy]

The other day when I was riding on the BQE highway stuck in traffic I noticed that there was a car on the highway that had the driver sitting in the right seat.

I never saw this before in the US. Is it allowed? Do you need some kind of certification for it?

I'd be interested to know this too, actually. I'm moving to the US soon and shipping my car over might be cheaper than buying a new one.

Yes, there's no law against it.

Think of all of the postal vehicles. Right hand drive. And then in rural counties they have private citizens use their own vehicles to deliver mail. alot of them are right hand drive as well.

And then these vehicles can me sold to anybody after their service is completed.

Although it might be a little more difficult to drive like that, it's totally legal.

probably not;it would be considered an antique car.

Not necessarily. Right-hand drive vehicles are still produced today, mostly for postal use as has been stated before. Behold!

That was interesting.So it depends on the model then.

there's no law against driving imported cars, as NWIBOY said, it might be a little more difficult

My mom is a postmaster, and in the late 80s and early 90s she owned an S10 Blazer with a right-hand drive conversion. It had a full set of instruments on both sides. She would have bought a Jeep, but the service costs on those are much higher than the left hand drive version.
