Conversion of a vehicle from right hand to left hand drive configuration involves
modification of the vehicle's brake and steering systems. This has the potential to
seriously affect the safe operation of the vehicle in the following ways;
– Steering can disengage during motion, lose control and cause accident, and that conversion is never
100% successful.
– Reduced Component Strength
– Loads applied in an emergency situation, e.g. panic stop or loss of power assistance to steering can be
very high. A component which is modified and does not retain the strength of the original design may
operate satisfactorily under everyday driving loads. However, under high loads it may fail
catastrophically.
– Susceptibility to Fatigue Failure
• Poor design can lead to fatigue failure. Vehicle manufacturers invest a great deal of time and money in
producing components which will not be affected by fatigue failures. They do this through design, material
selection, manufacturing controls and endurance testing using manufacturing techniques not readily adaptable
to low volume modification procedures.
• Fatigue can lead to the catastrophic failure of a component which performed satisfactorily for many years after
modification
– Reduced Primary Safety
• Modifications to steering can radically alter a vehicle's handling by introducing undesirable traits such as
increased bump steer and poor self centering.
• Even minor alterations to braking components can reduce the system's effectiveness
– A lot of cars converted in Nigeria lose the OBD / OBDII / EOBD capabilities, as the "technicians" that
carry out the work have no idea how to integrate the system, and often leave wires either cut, or
removed completely, as long as the car runs.
• OBD/OBDII/EOBD -means Onboard Diagnostics. OBDII is a later version of OBD and EOBD is the European
version of onboard diagnostics. On-Board Diagnostic systems are in most cars and light trucks on the road
today. During the '70s and early 1980's manufacturers started using electronic means to control engine
functions and diagnose engine problems. This was primarily to meet European Pollution Agency emission
standards. Through the years on-board diagnostic systems have become more sophisticated. OBD-II, a new
standard introduced in the mid-'90s, provides almost complete engine control and also monitors parts of the
chassis, body and accessory devices, as well as the diagnostic control network of the car.

RHD cars can only be converted perfectly by the
manufacturers.
– The conversions in Nigeria are not durable.
– Most of the time Nigerian Technicians destroy the mototronics
and wiring system. So after you use them for a while
you start having problems.
– In Nigeria, the conversion is not handled neatly and
professionally.
– Therefore it is not worth the trouble.
• It should still remain banned from entering the Country in
other to save lives and property on our roads.
