Today, the majority of countries in the world drive on the right side of the road and are used to driving left hand drive vehicles. It’s mainly the old British colonies that drive on the left, and due to the massive cost of changing street signs, road markings etc, the idea to change this was laughed at and dismissed in the 1960’s.

Due to booming industry and tourism in the UK, particularly the capital, there is now a huge market for left hand drive cars London. With many visitors used to driving on the right, and using a left hand drive vehicle, it makes sense to continue that tradition here. There are many dealers in the UK offering left hand drive vehicles for rental or purchase, making life so much easier for visitors and travellers when renting a car. 

Many left-hand drive vehicles are automatic, which takes the pressure off a little and means you’re not fumbling around with the gear stick! If you’re not used to an automatic transmission, this can be daunting but you’ll soon get the hang of it. However, if you prefer a manual transmission, there are many different makes and models available and it’s comforting to know that the pedals are in the same order – accelerator, brake and clutch.

LHD vehicles are not designed for use on Britain’s roads, and as such, there are few left-hand drive vehicles in the country. The biggest safety concern is blind spots, particularly when turning right. However, statistics show that a small number of accidents are caused by left hand drive vehicles and their drivers.

So, if you’re in the city on business or simply on an enjoyable vacation, don’t stress about driving in the UK. Rest assured that left hand drive cars London are available to make your driving experience so much easier.
