Stupid Question.

I'm in Okinawa (been here for about 2 years) and headed back for Cali at the end of this year. I drive a Nissan 180sx and love driving RHD.

I'm from San Diego, and haven't kept up with all the California bullshit laws of driving, but was wondering if there were/are any restrictions to converting a vehicle to RHD?

Any paperwork that i'd need to fill out at the DMV or anything or does that only apply to imported vehicles?


Thanks in Advance,
-Anthony

if anything its a fix it ticket situation...
if anything, i believe its just frowned upon in L.A. because of the way streets are made...by that i mean people in Okinawa drive on the opposite side of streets compared to the way it is here in L.A.

so i dunno...

i doubt its Illegal

When the pull you over you say it's safer to be on this side.

Then you're a citizen that cares.

RHD is cool and all, but there is no point for a RHD vehicle in a LHD world.

As for your question I dont think its illegal but if you plan slap a sr or any other illegal motor.

Its just another reason to get stopped and popped.
