In Pakistan driving is not an easy job as traffic jams and rush are normal. Traffic rules are also not followed by many which causes rush on roads. Pakistan is among those countries which drive on left hand. Steering wheel is on right side in Paksitan.
Why is a car’s steering wheel placed on the right side if we drive on the left? Or placed on the left side if we drive on the right?
According to an expert “It’s better for visibility to be seated closer to the middle of the road. This means sitting on the right when driving on the left side of the road. This gives a better view for overtaking slower vehicles and also improved vision at junctions- you can look straight out of the right window for approaching traffic, rather than trying to see past your passenger’s head”
