I know...there aren't any stupid questions, but really this one is...

On an overseas truck with drivers side being on the right, is the gas pedal still on the right or is it on the left and clutch on the right?

See...I told you it was a stupid question. I just saw a picture of a double cab with the wheel on the wrong side so it made me think.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the pedals are the same.
but reverse is the wrong way.


...and there really aren't stupid questions, just stupid answers.

Hell actually that's not a bad question. I'l look it up

scrossDC

its all the same ( except gears )

abecedarian

actually, gear selector placement is the same too, just under the left hand instead of the right.

scrossDC

depends on the car tho. make and model make a big difference

^^ They're not going to swap gears or pedals around just for a different model. It's a standard.


Pedals are the same, gear shifter is the same, you're just on the other side of it.
Think about how much it would cost for a company to completely reverse the gears in the shifter, only for it to be exactly opposite to what everyone else is used to.

hmmmm not a dumb question

i dont think i could get used to that

scrossDC

what i meant by that was not place to place... brand to brand ( like how most reverse is behind 5th but with some reverse is down under 1st ( i didnt mean from country to country just brand to brand)

Fair enough.


FYI: Here in Canada, we have RHD, and LHD cars everywhere.

as for the gears... all they'd have to do is move the shift forks around. not really hard at all.

Hmmm. gear placement, I forgot to ask about that.

so it could be backwards like:

531
R42

that would really screw me up on the road.

scrossDC

gears all depends on brand, model , year ... but as for the pedals they are the same just moved to the other side of the car

just a 22re

shifters are the same for lhd and rhd as i drove a rhd and there the same keys are on the right side of the wheel turn sigals everything is the exat same just confusing when you get in for the first time lol

annoyingrob

Actually, turn signals are opposite on a RHD car. That's about the only thing.

Ezrider_92356

all the rhd cars iv drove the pedals and shifter were the same but the turn signal switch is on the opposite side.

idanity

can we expand this thread to

why are there 2 driving sides in the 1st place...?
wtf.
who started this mishap,
and
why didn't we crush it long ago.

comon...maybe Barack will fix it ...

99ncxj

wow, who knew there could be so many different answers to my "stupid question" I love it...

so, we have decided the following:

the pedals remain in the same configuration.
the shifter patterns (on same vehichle model) stay the same
the turn signal gets moved to other side of column...wich i would think means the wiper control would move too
and...someone thinks that Barack will fix something...

Hmmm. I guess I learned something today
