india has right-hand drive vehicles. the steering wheel is provided at the right-front seat.
we drive on the left side of the road.
What?! Why?
✨ british imperialism ✨
That doesn't explain why they have the cars meant for side A, but use them to drive on side B.
cars that drive on the right have their steering wheel on the left side (i.e. left-hand drive), and vice versa.
OP said (and stressed with italics) that they have right hand drive cars but drive them on the opposite side, which was the point of his comment
I think you’re getting confused by the terminology; this is an explanation from the Wikipedia article.
ETA: So the red areas have left-hand drive and right-hand traffic, while the blue areas have right-hand drive and left-hand traffic.
and there's the answer
Right? From the view of someone on the inside? That would be normal for a left side drive nation...
Isnt that how it works everywhere u have steering wheel on right and drive on left u have steering wheel on left u drive on right.
