Summary

Left-hand steering vehicles cannot be driven, or be caused or allowed to be driven, in any public place unless they are fitted with a prescribed mechanical or electrical signalling device and that device is in working order. The rule applies whenever such a vehicle is used in a public place. Without the required device properly fitted and working, the vehicle must not be used on public roads.

Example

Ravi imports a left-hand steering car and wants to drive it around town. He must have the prescribed mechanical or electrical signalling device fitted and working, otherwise he cannot drive the car or allow others to drive it in any public place.
