A modern driving game where they drive on the left, hallelujah!

Being from the UK that’s the norm for me but years, decades even, of gaming has taught me to drive on the right!

You know something mate, that’s probably why I just gelled straight away when I did a 6 week stint in the West Coast of The States back in 2010. Driving alone the huge freeways,small country roads, winding mountain roads and navigating various towns and city’s. It just felt so natural.

It took me just two blocks to get used to it, learning the constant turn left at anytime, even on red lights was an interesting twist. I was cautious about it initially prior to going over. But it just felt natural once I was behind the wheel… I actually spent several days on Forza and GRiD prior to leaving. It certainly helped.

I just kept the notion that the Centre Line MUST ALWAYS be on your right hand side of your body. That just cemented the synapse into my brain, and it was simple from there on in.

In the US, you can’t turn left on a red light, only on a green light and obviously when there is no oncoming traffic. You can, however, turn right on red, again obviously assuming there’s no cross-traffic approaching. Also, if you keep the center line on the right hand side of your body, then you’re driving in the left lane.

Ahh yes, totally correct. I got my left mixed up with my right late at night lol…thanks for pointing those items out.

And yes, of course no one would make turns without first stopping, or first waiting for proper direction.

But honestly, it really did feel easy as pie when I jumped into the drivers seat when I went over.

Right hand drive in Australia is something realistic but I wish there was an option to choose that, at least for single player mode.

Got used to RHD in the demo in a few minutes. It’s not a big deal.

When in doubt just drive the McLaren F1.

Personally I drove (thanks internships !! )a LHD cars (Audi A1, A3, A4, A5, A6, A8, RS6, TTS, Q3, Q5, Q7, BMW 5-serie, Ferrari Mondial 3.2, Testarossa, 308, 328, 348, 355, 360, 430, 458, Peugeot 208, 308, Porsche 964 turbo, 993 C2, Nissan Almera Tino, Micra, Note, Ford Mustang, Citroen 2CV) and RHD cars (Suzuki Cappucinno, Aston martin V8-vantage) and you just need 10 minutes, it’s not so difficult

In real life, all of cars are supposed to be RHD in Australia but some cars such as BMW M4, is LHD. Why would anyone makes this game weird as well of RHD or LHD.

I just don’t get why the 2016 Civic Type R is RHD but the 2001 Integra Type R is LHD. You mean to tell me that Turn10 only had access to a 2016 RHD Civic Type R to scan. And does that mean the 2016 Type R doesn’t have the appearance or specs of a North American model.

A cursory internet search seems to show that the 2016 Civic Type R was not sold in the US, in fact it was sold almost exclusively in RHD countries (UK where it is built, Japan, Australia etc) so a RHD-spec model scan is to be expected. Looking at the car-list it appears the 2001 Integra Type-R is an Acura anyway (which automatically makes it a LHD USDM model) so nothing out of the ordinary there.
