Right Sided Cars

There was this erratic driver who was driving ahead of me today along the who almost crashed into a car coming from the opposite lane while trying to overtake on two occasions. It was when I over took him that noticed he was driving a right sided car which got me thinking. Is it even legal in Nigeria? cos it could be dangerous especially when trying to overtake or on a bending corner.
What do u guys think

Why would you even entertain overtaking at, or before a bend?

I would describe you, as a terrible driver.

Not sure about Nigeria, but in the UK it's legal only that your insurance is much higher..

Nigeria used to be a RHD country before they changed to LHD in the 70s.

According to the FRSC the use of RHD cars in the country is illegal, owners are given the option of converting to LHD or risk having their vehicles impounded.

This explains why RHD cars are cheaper than their LHD versions , infact the price of RHD car is half that of its LHD equivalent.

I think you misunderstood him.
He spoke of two independent... or even mutually exclusive things
