left-hand drive
Steering wheel placement
Left-hand drive describes vehicles with the steering wheel and controls positioned on the left side of the cabin, designed for driving on the right side of the road.
This configuration is standard in most of the world, including continental Europe and the Americas.
The term distinguishes these vehicles from right-hand drive models used in countries like the United Kingdom, Japan, and Australia where traffic keeps left.
