In all seriousness why not?

Isn't it something to do with the majority of men being right handed?

I've considered it more than once.

For those of us on the left side of the pond who place our steering wheels where they belong (sorry Jock), there is one other solution. Let someone else drive! Believe me, as a motorhead that's hard for me to do, but the car seat sweep is a lot easier without that wheel in the way.

In Michigan the roads are so poorly maintained we drive anywhere we can find "road" between the ditches.

In all seriousness, I've considered purchasing a right-hand drive car in the US. I seldom have a passenger and don't see the sense of stepping out into moving traffic when debarking from my vehicle.

I've always wanted a RH-Drive Morgan 3-Wheeler in BR Green. Of course, sitting "down" into a car like that is going to negate any benefit of right hand drive/pleat-sweep issue helped solve.

Pull up in that Morgan and the last thing anyone is going to notice is your rumpled kilt.

LOL! Fair enough.

For those who have no idea what the Morgan 3-Wheeler is, this is it (although I'd prefer mine w/o the goofy fighter plane detailing)

I don't know if the pleat depth is a factor but my PV casual wrinkles much more than my tank. After hanging for the night both kilts were wrinkle free the next morning.

I have never had my Locharron 16oz tank wrinkle on me, even on a 3 hour plane trip. However my PV wrinkles easily, even if they do eventually hang out.
