LHD stands for Left-Hand Drive. It describes a vehicle configuration where the steering wheel and driver's seat are positioned on the left side of the passenger compartment. This is the standard layout for countries that drive on the right side of the road, keeping the driver closer to the center line for better visibility of oncoming traffic.

Do not mix it up with
- RHD: LHD has the steering wheel on the left for driving on the right side of the road; RHD has it on the right for driving on the left.
