LHD & RHD who popularized which?

**ian_rex** · March 2nd, 2004 09:17 PM

alam guys nyo i was just wondering lang, lagi kong iniisip yung kung bakit ngaba nagkaroon pa nang LHD? sino bang nagpauso nyan? kasi, minsan while im reading some history books, napansin ko nung 1900's ang Manila e RHD. Bakit ba nagkaroon ng LHD anong benefits? what wrong ba driving the opposite side of the road? for trivial matters lang po. thanks!

See related thread:

- bakit may LHD and RHD pa?
Read sixpack's post, fits definitely with your query.

isa lang ang observation ko...

RHDs are commonly used for countries who are members or who have been under the rule of the British empire except Japan, while LHDs are commonly used for countries who have been under the rule of the Spanish or the Americans....

thanks sir. kasi matagal na akong nagmumuni-muni tungkol sa bagay na iyon. anyway, correct me if im wrong ha, kasi i overhead thru a conversation na yung dmax daw na iniimport dito (LHD) e ikono-convert pa uli sa RHD bago ibenta sa thailand? ang labo yata nun a?

haha. parang tayo. yung mga RHD na iniimport galing Japan, konoconvert muna to LHD bago ibenta dito.

ian_rex,

Sabay ang production ng RHD at LHD na Dmax sa Thailand in the same assembly plant. Depende yun sa order sheet na nakakabit sa chassis kung RHD siya o LHD.

Parang yung mga Escape na ginagawa sa Laguna. May RHD at LHD.
