It could have we have some left hand drive cars and trucks in the UK so why not the other way?

its america so yes, if you want right hand drive then play Euro Truck Sim 2 not ATS
well just for localization it would have been a bit handier to what im used to, there's some people in europe who wont mind as much ast hey drive on the left anyway but most of their cars are right hand drive, i think to just say because its America that i should go play eurotruck instead is a bit rude i was just asking a question

Illegal without special permits (Mail trucks, and other special cars) at least here in CA.

A friend of ours had an import hatchback from Japan he was working on that had right hand steering. He had to go through a bunch of hoops to get it road legal.

well I will put it another way then, in Europe the UK roads you drive on the left, and the other areas of europe you drive on the right is why it has both options.

in america the whole country is driving on the right is why it only has a left hand drive.

Just because someone had the great idea to make a tunnel from UK to the rest of Europe you see left hand cars. Why are they even called left hand cars, you use your right hand to operate gearshifter.

But back on topic.
Dou you know any region in USA driving on the wrong side of the road?
No? Then there is no reason to build trucks for road which don't exist.
for here the main difference is the angle of the lights to stop daze as of the side of the road your driving, it would be even nice to have a cross over like drive the EU trucks on the US maps

No one told you to play euro truck. We told you that its america. We don't have those cars here.

That's not rude that's answering your question. Rude is making crap up and putting it other people's mouths so you can play the victim card when you don't get the answer you want.

Well that's what i originally thought but what prompted the question was when i was buying my first truck in the dealers it showed me that they were all left hand side drive, if every truck in the game is left hand drive why even mention it in the details of the truck

I wasn't playing any victim card at all or making crap up as so you politely put it, i surgest you back off the keyboard rather than being a keyboard warrior and read everyone's responses especially " if you want right hand drive then play Euro Truck Sim 2 not ATS" now i didn't make that comment up nor did i play any victim card!

The game uses the same engine like ETS2. They didn't recode the game, just added only a single option.
