RHD Car + Drive-thru (experiences?)

[swak]

Only driven a RHD car once, and well it was different, but when going to a drive-thru (T-Horton's in AM), what do you do?
Do you just not go through drive thru's?

Or do you guys get creative?
Obviously having a passenger is the easy way out, but when your on your own, what do you do?

Reverse

I have one of those garbage picker things and a cup handy if I decide to go through a drive-through.

Lean over

Just stick to going with Peters Drive In, they are RHD friendly.

Ebrake then leannnnn and u should be good. Smaller cars are easier like skylines and rx7s but the supra is a bit wide and I found it really hard to reach lol. But watching them try to reach into your car always provided a good chuckle :p

Drive thru's are nothing.

It's a real bitch when going to parking lots where you have to press the button to get a ticket. Fuck I was at the airport the other day and almost had to jump in the passenger seat and then jump back real quick before the parking arm went down on my car.

[ottamania]

just park the car and go inside to order it.

You need a fancy pokin' stick. Broomhandle ought to work or pool cue. Your airport parking exit sounds like a Mr. Bean episode.

This was my biggest dilemma too. Or it was the car wash bays down at the deer valley car wash.

Parkades you can't go in/out in reverse.

exactly what he said

[sillysod]

turning left at a busy light is also awesome.

[scat330]

LHD car at peters, the left side is fine.. nothing to it.

It's the dangerous intersections and two lane narrow downtown roads = ban.

Okay, I'll bite and ask the stupid question - drive throughs (atleast the ones I've been through) are pretty tight turns.....how do you navigate them in reverse without bumping into the narrow curves?

I'll help...

RHD is shit and you shouldn;t drive it :whocares: :rofl:

[swak]

Ive never owned a RHD car, but i have gone reverse through a bank drive through for a buddy to enter his pin, take money out, etc, and had no issues.
Probably looked like an idiot reversing a cavalier through a scotiabank, but hey.. The bank was closed.

[canadian.eh84]

bahhhhh :cry:
nobody loves RHD :cry:

[swood]

Toll bridges in the middle of rush hour traffic were the worst for me.
