In Japan automobiles are Left Hand Drive vehicles.

The Mitsubishi Fuso Trucks are common here in the Philippines. Most of them are LHD converted to RHD (left hand drive) as required to by law.

LHD to RHD conversions are safe vehicles when done right.

The local automotive industry, here started a propaganda campaign calling LHD to RHD conversion are unsafe and dangerous cars. When the used import cars auctions, held at Subic Bay Freeport (ex US Naval Base). Were making a killing selling cheap cars and trucks from Japan and Korea. It was affecting their business since brand new cars sold at dealerships are massively expensive compared to used cars at auctions.
