Right Hand Drive???

[TAKEO]

I was wondering....
Is it illigal to have/dirve a RHD car?
I cant find anything about it on the web.

Reason: Buying nissan silvia s13 or 14 kouki, j.d.m.

As long as you get everything adjusted, gauges, lights, emissions, noise level etc then its perfectly legal....

wow now that you think of it its true^ but also beware its a ***** to pass like on a one lane highway with a rhd car because it may be difficult to see past the car in fron of you, even worse with a semi

RHD is legal

the car has to be +15 years old in Canada is the rule (i think its 25 years in
USA?)

Passing is difficult (blind spot)

Turning left can be difficult at an intersection (blind spot)

Takes time to learn a RHD car. If you so much as look at the left line on the road while driving youll veer into the left lane wihtout knowing it. PAy attention ONLY to the right line on the road for the first week or so to train your brain. It like starting ALL over again at first.

Call your insurance broker for monthly costs on rates for the car, my R32 costs 89.00/mo. which works out cheaper then both my Dodge Ram and 06 civic were at. lol

you just scoot to the right side to look past the rig and then whip out left. not really any harder than trying to scoot out left to see past. actually this is safer, because now your not merging into traffic to see if its clear.

i think thats only with imported cars that were not originally allowed in the US, such as your skyline.

because theres tons of hondas and subarus and nissans and jeeps running around that are RHD and licensed titled and 100% legal in the USA, and they are newer than 25 yrs of age by far.

there was 5 RHD 1995 legacy wagons for sale just a while back close to me, perfectly legal. the mail used them for a while, but of coures they upgraded to there new RHD (i think dodge) mini vans.
