We get out on the sidewalk and not a busy street. The officer (if/when) we get pulled over is not in harms way as he stands on the shoulder of a busy highway/street.
Thanks to people like CADA people fear RHD cars because they believe we are 40% more at risk of an accident which is complete BS (thanks ICBC for that wonderfully faulty study). For instance, head on collisions are usually front left to front left, Where do we sit?? On the right side away from the impact.
