So CADA wants to ban RHD vehicles.
This has been an ongoing issue with these Canadian car agencies (CADA), saying to the government of Canada that RHD vehicles are unsafe.
Video: CBC.ca Video What are your thoughts ? |
the guy they interviewed said it best
"its a freedom of choice and i think canadians deserve that" personally ive been in a rhd car before (heres a vid of us drifting lol) YouTube - RX7 drifting and there was no difference so to say they are dangerous is ridiculous |
......oh...and posting vids of **** like that can get you arrested....just a heads up.
|
chill guys i wasnt driving...i would never drive my civic like that and yeah i guess i kinda did prove the ban point...but you know what people say civic drivers are reckless drivers just because a small group are...
|
i dont see any problem with them, except for turning left maybe?
though i am not fan of RHD |
I always wanted a RHD CRX or Civic. I think the real problem is that people out in places like BC, RHD vehicles are everywhere! Not just cause they're RHD either. It's because you can import a used JDM car and have it be in great condition rather then buying a car from a local used or even new car dealer. It's a large amount of money going out and nothing coming in as far as the gov is concerned. They just need to find a glorified reason to tell the public.
Thats how I see it anyway. |
i think RHD drive cars are cool. wouldnt mind haveing an EJ1 RHD. i would like a 93 supra as LHD though for some reason
|
From my experience, almost all of my customers have no 'issues' when test driving our RHD cars for the first time...
|
there is nothing wrong with it. the differents is the steering wheel is on the right. i wanna get a RHD eg.

The insurance companies and New car dealers are in bed with each other !!
This is a classic case of protectionism and nothing to do with safety ! New car dealers want to protect thier business as they feel threatened by the low mileage 15+ year old vehicles coming from Japan. ::rollseyes:: |

I think this is non sense as RHD vehicles are the same for safety as any other LHD as Robb stated that is a very good point on why they don't want them in canada anymore.
As for turning left yes it's less safe then normal but it could be done and safe. How many times have you seen people struggling to turn left with a normal USDM car cuz they don't know how to line themselves up properly. I think it's stupid and it won't really pass to be honest or it won't stay for long. |
The gov't should concentrate more on driver training and education, before they think of banning any vehicle import !
It's easier to obtain a drivers licence in this country, than it is to buy something from a vending machine !! |

japanese cars are NOT built to the same standards of canadian cars. they might look the same but are far from it... ie bumper re-bars, lights, inner structure re-inforcements etc... |
i know as of jan 1st 2011 my girlfriends insurance company and the insurance company im with will no longer insure RHD. im guessing others will soon to follow.
