These cars are found in countries which drive on the left of the road. UK vehicles are Right Hand Drive.<\/p>\n<p>In the UK we drive Right hand drive (RHD) vehicles on the left of the road meaning our <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimatestyling.co.uk\/headlights\">headlights<\/a> are aimed slightly towards the curb. If this was in a Left-hand drive (LHD) country, the beam of light would be aiming into the other lane of traffic rather than the curb. This also affects <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimatestyling.co.uk\/wing-mirror-glass-replacement\">mirror glass<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimatestyling.co.uk\/wing-door-mirrors\">mirror units<\/a>. Many of the driver side mirrors in this country feature a convex curved glass to ensure the driver has increased vision, often to cover their rear blind spot.
