Now, digging a bit deeper, we had reported such an incident previously as well where a man from Gujarat was a fan of American trucks. He owns a big transportation firm and has a ton of other trucks in his fleet. According to the reports about that, the truck costs a whopping Rs 3 Crores including purchase price, import duty and road tax. He was featured on various news channels. He mentioned that he had kept a dedicated driver for this truck because it has the steering on the left side as opposed to Indian automobiles which have the steering wheel on the right side.

Before you ask, it is not illegal to drive a vehicle with steering on the left side in India. However, you must take prior permission from the authorities like the RTO and inform them about the vehicle. Only after that, you can drive such a vehicle on the road. Needless to say, you need to be professional in order to drive optimally. What are your thoughts about this imported truck?
