quick question need answered quickly

finaltable · 07-19-2007, 05:01 PM

Having never driven a RHD car I can't say this for certain, but given that "right" is the dominant side of the body for 95% of the population the primary control of the car (braking and acceleration) would be best handled by the right foot. While I am interested to see the answer from someone who actually knows, I would be very surprised to learn that the pedals are reversed in a RHD car.

Update: I went and looked at some pictures on the UK eBay site. In the BMW 328 I looked at the pedals still had the clutch on the left and gas on the right while being a RHD car. Although my sample size is just one car I think my original guess was right.

i've always seen them the same in those cars as they are in our cars, so just the shifter will be controlled differently (w/ left hand). I could be wrong though.

My Supra`s an auto, but on all right hand cars in the UK you will find the clutch is on the left side, the pedal layout is the same as for right and left handed cars.
