my girlfriend started working for the post office to be a mail carrier but you have to use your own car so after two months of looking for a right hand car .we found a conversion kit for a honda element why that car lots of room so this weekend i put the kit in the car and its awesome .
right hand drive
- Thread starter ricks_RR
- Start date
$1,900 dollars free shipping if i wanted them to put it in that was $ 400.00 dollars and it takes them two weeks and you have to ship the car to Tennessee. they make many different set ups for each car ( postalthing.com ) is the web site . i looked for a right hand drive car but they are hard to find .
the worst part was moving the passenger seat 10 inches back

I was going to say something like that... but if she's a bonafide government employee and not a sub contractor if she gets injured in a accident she may not be covered by the federal workman compensation act which is different for federal employees than us common pee'ons.
This came up on the talk radio about the federal regulation for rural mailbox construction (household side of the road) as a caller called in on why his mailman was refusing to deliver his mail as he put his mailbox in a cherry bomb/baseball bat bombproof bunker.
LOL
What if the postal worker get T-Boned in the truck and pushed into the in-move-able fortress and suffers more severe injuries? a'Yup he goes out on the Federal Workers Compensation disability on the tax payers dime. That's why they just want the regulation mailbox on a lightweight pole that is easily pushed over. Not too hard to figure out, but some people you just can't tell them anything. heh
.
the car is fully covered and there are regulations on how high or low a mail box should be .
she is delivering mail and amazon packages that you order . people think that it is a gravy job try it you may not like it and when you stop to put in the mail in the box and it is leaning back 6 inches and owner refuse to fix it well then i guess they dont get there mail. drive around and look at some of the mail boxs plus if you dont think the mail carries in your area are being fair then get a PO BOX .
this is all new to her but as i drove around and really started looking at the mail boxs there a 12 inch ditch in front of the mail box and they wont fix it . 98 % of the mail boxs are good and the people that complain there mail boxs are not being taken care of . im not looking for confrontation on this subject just showing how to convert a car from left hand to right drive just thought it was cool .

Jeeps can be ordered as right hand drive, as can some Subarus. At least as recently as a couple years ago = but now you're in new vehicle territory which isn't all that bad with the mileage recompense for rural mail carriers.
Used to be a right hand drive Subaru around here that belonged to a mail carrier.
A few years ago, they went to mail trucks around here. It was probably more cost effective than reimbursing for mileage. The newspaper carriers are supposed to drive on the right side, and the cops were enforcing it, but that seems to have gone by the wayside recently.

no you cant drive on the left side any more all the controls are in the way . we looked for a right hand drive and there is none around the east coast . yes we could order one but for a part time job did not make sense. but now that things are changing and people at this post office are retiring or going to different post offices the work load has doubled so it is now full time . so this worked out awesome
