Mail delivery trucks (and cars) are right hand drive so the can drive down the normal (right-hand) side of the road and stuff mail into the rural delivery type mailboxes on the side of the road. In the US we only get delivery 6 days a week and once per day. Never more or less unless there is a Federal holiday. in which case that day is skipped. > One of the very first things I noticed about my C900's is that they seem to > have been designed to use LHD controls from the outset.
