QUOTE(CooShyRee @ Oct 10 2008, 11:52 AM) paying toll is not much of an issue really.. 4 example, UK has the same driving side as us, n they r surrounded by other european countries that drive on the left side.. u can see that wat they do is juz lean over the other side 2 pay tolls, its not difficult come 2 think of it.. toll booths r operated by people, they can reach out their hands which makes it a bit easier for us.. the issue here i think comes when we're dealing wit parking machines, press button 2 get ticket or slot ticket or money 2 get out.. johor cauesway custom have lotsa left hand sided counters as well. no problems in passing passports and paying tolls, just have to stretch lefthand.

QUOTE(eastwest @ Oct 10 2008, 12:25 PM) Right hand drive also can do what? BTW, saw a few of this left hand drive car. One of it is honda accord. When I first saw it, couldn't see the driver head (from behind), only saw the "passenger" head  . ""Oooh, this fella must be a short person, thats why cannot see his/her head  ""My thougth. . during overtaking, Ehhh??? no driver??!!  Lol, steering at the left side la  right hand drive how to do that kind of leaning thingy wor..right hand drive u get the parking ticket direct from the machine jor..if left hand drive..u can act act abit..lean on the girl..say "aiyakk..cannot reach the ticket..let me try again and again and again"

Saw A LDH driver, was at a toll, and he was using a portable sort of a stick and attach the TOuchNGo card to it..so no problem, he can reach the other easily
