Question for Right Sided Driver in BC
 

Had this question for quite a long time. Could you let me know how to make a left turn on intersection with oncomming traffic ?

Wait for the lights turn yellow ? six sense ?
what else is bothering you driving on the right side?

you'd probably be safest just to wait unless you can see properly...

also, i'd imagine going through drive thrus and toll booths would suck... and also merging onto a highway would be scary

at least those are the things that have made me rethink getting a RHD car...

or going underground parking lot with card scanner on the left : (
i saw that once before.. sucks for him ~

It's not bad at all. Pretty easy to get used to, and like everything, just take it easy to begin with and within a week, everything will feel comfortable.

they dun turn left, they make 3 right turns around the next block ...

Maybe by not sucking at driving?

Have your passenger tell you when to turn, duh!

Just don't forget to not turn too tight when you're turning left, don't want to clip other cars or medians.

i used to use a retractable pointer for presentations that i borrowed from work, hooked the card on the end, and stuck it out the passenger window... worked great until the damn card got unhooked and would fall under the car :haha:

as for left turns... i waited for the light to change to red (i still can't see those who like playing yellow light chicken) or someone behind me would stand on their horn, whichever comes first :(

other thing that bothered me was that i had a tendency to get too close to the center line because i keep instinctively try to move away from the shoulder :o

Eeerrr sometimes its kinda scary to ask my opposite shotgunner

I just wait and if the guy behind me honks 'cause its clear, i just stick my middle finger out from my side :D

.

i think takeda enterprises sells a left turn camera. you mount the camera on the left pillar. and use the screen it provides to guide you

how do you get your foods at the drive thru?

^ pull up and sit in the passenger seat i guess

or never go alone

go through backwards.

:lol:

my friend usually gets people to look for him

i drive a rhd truck...i can generally see pretty well compared to a rhd car and have no issues whatsoever

you can't ask anyone if you're driving alone

I have a RHD SLK...I can drive without any problem :P

i've driven RHD b4..and well..u can only take advice from ur passenger..but everyone's perspective is different. so its osmething u cant rely on...again..treat it like when u first learned to drive. it takes time

lol funny you bring that up. I was coming home last night going eastbound on 1st ave. As I hit Nanaimo I saw all this popo and a smashed up right handed GTR. Now I wasn't there to witness it but judging by where the GTR was I would assume he was making a left and smoked an on coming car but who knows.

Lean over.....

Unless you are 4'9, it's pretty easy to lean across at a drive thru. Done it many many times with no problems.

I lean over to see if there are any cars prior to turning left.

Merging onto a highway is way easier I find...

ask your passenger to look out for you
