Warning - This Vehicle Is Left Hand Drive - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Alert other road users that the vehicle is configured with the driver’s seat on the left side, which may be unusual in countries where right-hand drive vehicles are standard. This warning is particularly important because the vehicle’s positioning, turning behaviour, and driver visibility may differ from what other drivers expect. By providing this notice, the sticker helps prevent misunderstandings, misjudgments, or collisions, particularly in tight traffic situations, overtaking maneuvers, or when parking.

This sticker should be placed on the rear and possibly the side of the vehicle, where it is clearly visible to following traffic and other road users. Commonly, it is used on imported vehicles, commercial trucks, delivery vans, buses, or any vehicle operating in a country where the opposite-hand driving configuration is standard. Placing the sticker in a prominent location ensures that drivers approaching from behind or overtaking can see the warning in time to adjust their driving behaviour safely.

Using a "Warning - This Vehicle Is Left Hand Drive” sticker enhances road safety by reducing the risk of accidents caused by unexpected driver positioning. In countries with right-hand traffic, other drivers may misjudge distances, passing lanes, or turning maneuvers when approaching a left-hand drive vehicle. The sticker provides a clear, proactive communication tool that alerts others to exercise caution, improving awareness and encouraging safer interactions on the road.

Ultimately, this sticker helps protect both the vehicle and surrounding road users. It demonstrates responsible vehicle management and a commitment to safety, particularly for fleets or operators using imported vehicles. By clearly signaling the unusual configuration, the sticker minimises risk, supports accident prevention, and fosters safer driving practices in environments where left-hand drive vehicles are not the norm.
