left hand side of car is driver side correct

[jssblues]

dont know why people cant refer to driver sider or passenger side, lets make it a little more difficult...the left hand side could be driver or passenger side , depends whether you are in the car or standing in front of your motor

Convention states that the perspective of components is as seen from someone sitting in the driver's seat.

That said, people posting are not authors or editors of repair manuals and will sometimes use a different perspective. This is why additional qualifiers are required.

BTW, this is a Talk-quality thread.

Good luck in your searches.

If you post on your thread again, try to answer the questions people ask you. Otherwise no one can help much (and you have an outstanding audience with JRichker, Joel, et al).

Good luck.

"Be" the car.

If I'm standing in front of you, your left hand is on the right from my perspective. Its still your left hand.

If you look at the headlights the lenses are marked "LH" and "RH".

As others have said, the convention is to use left and right from the driver's position. This is used because most factory's build left hand and right hand drive vehicles. Using passenger and drivers side would get very confusing.

Drivers side = LEFT

Passenger side =RIGHT


or


LEFT= man side

RIGHT = women side

hahahaa...I know she will. She has a great sense of humor though.

Plus, that's why I put the HIDE smiley in there, so she knows I'm joking.

Tractor Trailers are different. They refer to the "Left Side" as "Road Side" & the "Right Side" as "Curb Side". It throws you off when your looking at an estimate for a Truck.
