If I didnt own and use the Car in the USA for 90 days then I had to convert it to RHD. But my wife wouldn't have let me drive it left hand drive here. We drive on the left hand side of the road and have mostly single lanes even the main highways so visibility is bad enough from the right hand side, let alone the left
