No problem for me.. I know quite a few people that drive RHD here in the
USA. They are called "Rural mail carriers". Many special order their
cars RHD, because it makes it easier to deliver to the mailboxes. And,
they also drive them for private use. One of my current local carriers,
currently has both a Subaru, and a Jeep Cherokee.
I even did a conversion of a T-1 for a rural mail carrier back in the
late '60's. It was an interesting project.
