Some people, whom I don't agree with, insist that sense of driving depends on the side of the Driver's Seat within the car: if he sits on the right side (as in the U K, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and some other countries), it is termed, "RIGHT HAND DRIVE"; and if he sits on the left side (as in Continental Europe, Canada and the U S A) it is called left -hand drive. My views are just the contrary.
Please confirm one or the other.

i'd have to say no. i think the terms come from the side of the road you drive on. 'left-hand driving'-because you drive on the left-hand side of the road; that would be UK, india, etc.

the USA do drive on the left hand side but you can change it to right hand side if you wont
it is correct where you sit depends on which side of the road you are meant to drive that car but the car will still drive on the road no mater with side of the car you sit
some cars you have to drive that was because of local laws depending on the car

The vehicle is either equipped with RH or LH drive ,meaning the driver sits on the RH side to drive in the UK and other places.in the US all civilian cars are driven by the driver sitting in the LH side of the car.
Yuor friends are correct,sorry.

People describe the road, not where the driver sits. So people in British colonies drive on the left, normal people on the right. People on horses sit in the middle.

In the US, we drive on the right with left hand driven cars. You see, both of you are correct, just about the wrong things!

How about middle hand driving ? So, you don't have to worry about which country you want to go and is good for a guy like me which allows two chick sitting beside me......... haha. As I remember, McLaren has a few model of cars which allows you middle hand driving.

Go to motor vehicle department and your insurance company and waa-laaa! Some Postman drive with their steering wheel on the opposite side of their vehicle and then some drive their postal vehicle like they own the fu*king road... watch out for them.. Damn rookies.
