Hi guys,

I am afraid if right hand driving is a problem or difficulty there in Canada. Please post your views on the issue.

Thanks for your time and replies.

It's right hand driving in Canada and the USA. That means you drive on the right side of the road. It's not a problem because most of the drivers don't know any other system. It may be a problem for immigrants who come from left-hand driving countries, I don't know about that.

What I mentioned is the vehicles in Canada and USA are LEFT HAND DRIVE ( Driver seat at the left side of the vehicle).

I think there should not be a problem. I am from Pakistan and working in KSA and road system here is similar to USA and Canada. Only 2 - 3 days I sit with my friend on next to driving seat to understand the system and since I am driving confidently and independantly without fear.. so I suggest you not to worry about as long as you are driving in India.
