How to adjust the right-hand drive vehicle to right-hand traffic

Russian motorists have become accustomed to having a right-hand drive cars on the road. Treat them differently, most of it negative, opponents of the right steering explain their attitude this way: "When right-hand traffic must ride with the left rudder." They complain about the danger of driving where the driver sits on the wrong side - the car clinging to the right lane (levorulnye - to the left), turning right at the driver uncomfortable to watch who goes to the left, and most importantly - to pass, because for this maneuver on RHD cars to pop out into the oncoming lane. To adapt the RHD cars have come up with a few accessories, so that the driver does not endanger themselves or their passengers, or those traveling with him. Excuses like, "You can overtake on the right and" not very well defined, since the traffic rules prohibit such a maneuver. Usually when overtaking driver right-hand drive vehicles can withstand a distance of several meters to riding in front of the car, waiting to appear large enough interval between oncoming traffic, and rapid acceleration, maneuver. Note that in order to perform overtaking the first time, has to have a peppy engine, as with slow acceleration times have to hide again and repeat the procedure. Some companies offer installation periscope system of mirrors, which allows a clear image of the oncoming lane. Such a system consists of two mirrors combined in the assembly building, which is attached to the left front desk inside the cabin. Looking in the mirror, the driver can see the oncoming lane at the same angle as if he was sitting on the left. The device occupies little space in the cabin and does not interfere with the passenger. In the factory left side rear view mirror he could see that overtaking will not prevent someone who rides on the strip, in which he wants to rebuild. To successfully use the "periscope", just need to get used to the fact that you look at the situation on the road "alien" eyes, as people accustomed to trust his own eyesight. Another point which must necessarily take into account - evaluation of distance riding toward machines, learning this too will take time. For owners of televisions in the car, which, among the "yaponovodov" quite a lot, since the machines imported from Japan, this is normal, it is possible to set the camcorder to review the oncoming traffic. In this case, the driver will receive information from the monitor, which will display images from your camera. Difficulties emerge the same - measure the distance to the approaching car and the habit of "third eye". A lot of inconvenience create lights RHD cars that are configured to drive on the left - they dazzle opposing cars, but in fact the light is not the site that should be. This not only prevents the driver itself, but also creates an emergency situation on the road. This problem can also be solved by reconfiguring lighting. There are two ways: modifications headlights or replacement headlights on European counterpart. The first method involves the implantation of a special curtain lights inside to escape the flow of light from the lamp on the area of ??the reflector. Thus, the "trap" the light appears to the left and up. The second way is pretty simple, but is available only to those vehicles that have levorulnye counterparts in the European market - swap the same size lights of these machines. So uncomplicated and not too expensive way to solve the problem of inadequacy of cars built for driving on roads with traffic systems. Of course, all the owners of these vehicles are sure that it is not in the location of steering, but in who sits behind the wheel, but you first need to think about safety on the road.
