the whole thing is stupid...yeah it can sometime's be tricky but you get use to it quickly ...what it all boil's down to is that people are stupid drivers and they need something too blame it on...in snow ..i was driving a 92 silvia k's with Toyo Proxes R888 and passing all the sunfire's and truck etc.etc smashed into tree's, guard rail's, ditches and it pisses me off becuase i have never had one accident or even hit a damn curb ...never got caught speeding, etc, yeah i have a few safety violations on my car's from mto ...but there not moving violations ...yet i pay 550+ for my 93 240sx now ...like what the hell! it pisses me off to no end ...i can drive with summer tires welded diff boost and no power steering in the snow without taking down a house ...yet the people that do hit everything still probably pay less then me !!!! pissess me off to nooooo end

I hate left hand turns. Especially when a giant truck or something pulls up in front of you and blocks your view of oncoming traffic. All you can do is sit there and wait, which I don't mind doing. But it's a bit of a pain.

You sumbitches need to learn the ancient art of "LEAN WAY THE **** OVER LOL". 100% serious, I can lean so far that my head will hit the passenger window if isn't open. And this is with my seatbelt on. It's a good thing I have tint or whoever's behind me would be doing the biggest "wtf".

[nickdutch]

lol ya thats a good one the lean or the tell your passenger to sit the f back so i can see

[dah_hunter]

i ask the passenger to tell me if somethings coming.. its a trust game..

so far. they have been accurate..

if alone i wait till the lights yellow.. or i lean far and go.. thats what BOOOOST if for..

but i have been driving RHD for 6 years now.. so LHD is begining to feel odd.. LoL

I don't get it.. if there's a truck big enough to obstruct my view in rhd, it's going to do the same if I were the foot and a half to the left in LHD, lean or not. I just usually wait for them to go RHD or not due to the fact that I can't see sh1t; the people behind me can wait, as they'd either be doing the exact same or rolling the dice for the sake of a few seconds.

My gc8 seatbelts are way to small to do this (lean over)

In lil ol' saskatchewan tho, left hand turns are only an issue 1/30 times.

I'm with Chewy on this, left hand turns that are truly an issue in RHD are also going to be an issue in LHD.

Normally if the road is straight it's fine, but when there's a slight curve after the light that's when you dont see shyte LHD included.

Oh, totally agreed on that. I meant when big trucks pull up and I'm driving LHD lol. RHD or LHD, the only thing you can do there is wait until it's totally clear or for the truck to go.

Can you further explane this LH turn problem? I've never drove a RHD and I'm looking into getting a skyline this summer and I want to know every last detail. I'm thinking that it would be no different then taking a LH turn in LHD?

[Nismoist]

The reason people perceive left hand turns to be a problem is because you are on the right side of the car and hence would have visibility issues. However anyone who has actually driven a RHD car will tell you that it is not an issue at all. I have not had a single left hand turn that was more difficult in a RHD than a LHD, some corners are just bad corners. I dont care what side you drive on you cant see past a bus if it is turning left in the opposite direction.
