Banning right hand drives might be a safety measure, drivers of RHD vehicles here have to blindly pull halfway out into possible oncoming traffic before they can see if it’s safe to overtake.
…so, what’s the excuse for this in left hand drive vehicles?

I’m curious whether there’s a few vehicles in the country that aren’t technically here, haven’t paid the various duties, or whatever. I’ve no idea how. When I saw a ‘06 model landcruiser advertised for ‘95 model prices, but right hand drive, it would suggest that people don’t want to end up owning something that overnight becomes worthless or unusable.
I think you’ve got a point about non legit/registered RHD vehicles. If it’s not possible to register them now or in the foreseeable future, possibly the owner of said Landcruiser is trying to offload it at a knockdown price before he gets caught with it?
