No, friend. Almost never. They are generally used only in Japan and they are right-side drive there. Doesn’t seem like it would be too difficult to get used to as most of the pedals and controls are in the same positions as left-side drive, except for gear shift and the turn signal (for some reason). The only real drawback to them , I would say from what I’ve seen in videos, is that they are SO SLOW! Getting them past 55mph/90kph looks rather difficult and reasonable cruising speed seems around 45mph/75kph. That’s my opinion from watching vids as haven’t found a kei van available anywhere near me to get myself. Haven’t seen any kei trucks either, but I’d rather have the van if I’m going to bother to get one.
