Should Pakistan switch to driving on the right side of the road?

[Nefarious]

If it’s so easy in UK, then why is it such a big deal to switch it in Pakistan?

Pakistani love to drive in the middle of the road.

I have always noticed that part of the reason so few people from Pakistan drive to neighboring countries is because they drive on the right side whereas Pakistan drives on the left side of the road. For someone wanting to do a road trip from say China to Pakistan or Iran to Pakistan, this makes it difficult to drive. It also complicates CPEC because trucks that drive from China and Pakistan will have issue on the other side. Why hasn't Pakistan changed to driving on the right side of the road like all of its neighbors? It will make trade and tourism by road easier for both Pakistan and its neighbors.

Absolutely, I believe it is long overdue that Pakistan starts eliminating all things that link it to british colonization. That includes driving on right side of the road, like the rest of the world. Also, cricket, a waste of time game that doesn't/shouldn't have any place in Pakistan for it.

Pakistan is one of the biggest importer of used foreign cars. LHD cars which are build to be driven on right side of the road have high availability. Therefore this idea makes sense.

What a waste.

Do we need more showbaazi.

Better to spend such money on education sector and on hospitals.

As long as we keep importing Japanese cars, then actually it's no problem at all to stick to with RHD.

I drive on the Left side here in Britain. I drive in Europe which is on the right! There is literally no issue in switching. The only thing yanks are afraid of is Manual transmission! that 'stick shift' baffles them all. Which I find very amusing

You can get a lot more than Japanese if you switch to LHD
