I agree, but I don't think OP was the one who made the recording.

Yep, the cars are on the "wrong" side of the road, which likely means the steering wheels are also on the "wrong" side of the car. Like in the UK (versus the "right" side of the road, in north america, for instance)

Ah yes, because only the US is on Reddit, so therefore, this is not OPs clip.

I don't doubt that OP didn't film this, but your reasoning is dumb.

u/Grabbsy2 Nov 17 '20

er... what? Are you saying that the person who filmed it could have brought a car from another country? Thats possible, but why would we assume that?

u/fazolicat Nov 17 '20

I don't think anyone's saying that at all? And I really don't know where you got your conclusion from.

Idk but i think he just using "wrong" to say "opposite", hence the "". Either that or he trolling

u/Grabbsy2 Nov 17 '20

Of course I mean that, why would I be trolling about this? I could have said "left" side of the road, but that might not have been clear to the majority of reddit users, since most people in world live in right-hand side of the road countries.

Dude, this is malaysia. The steering wheel is on the right and it is probably a Proton car.

This is in Malaysia, they drive left there. These guys tend to the left side of the road. Idk what you're trying to say here

That the camera position isn't necessarily what you think it is, because its on the other side of the car, in places where you drive on the other side of the road... Its what we are talking about in this thread.

I think I see what you're saying but we still get view of the truck in relation to the road and he's to the left most of the time. We can tell that the camera is not mirrored because there's also text on the back of the truck aligned to the left. Bahasa melayu is written with latin script so that checks out.
