I have seen some attempts by East European firms to educate the English motorist that the vehicle is a left ■■■■■■ by having a notice on the back end declaring, “LEFT HAND DRIVER”
I saw a different one today on the back of a Czech truck that gave a little more information, “THE DRIVER SITS ON THE LEFT”
waste of time, the common driver can’t look further than his own bonnet so has no chance of ever seeing that sign 
I’ve just moved over to a UK reg LHD. I’ve found the driving of other road users is terrible, I’m far from the perfect driver but it’s bloody hard work. I’m so scared of pulling out to overtake as cars do tend to want stick to the o/s, or if I indicate they either don’t want me pulling out or most probably don’t see the indicator flashing.
I’ve also noticed that I don’t get flashed in any more when completing overtakes with fellow truckers, is there a bias to seeing a LHD??
My post was not intending to mean that the message would be seen by the average motorist or if it was, it would make them more aware or drive any better, it was just that their translation made me smile.
When I was driving abroad once I had driven a left ■■■■■■ I wouldn’t drive anything else, in Eastern Europe and the middle east there were more pile ups involving right hookers than I was prepared to risk, and the short amount of driving a LHD in the UK never bothered me, quite as much as it bothered some plonker in a car who drifted into my r/h front wheel in London and bollocked me for having the steering wheel on the wrong side!
I’m old enough to remember LHD lorries quite often would have a sign on the back saying " LEFT HAND DRIVE-NO HAND SIGNALS " . Anybody else remember them ?

There used to be a French company doing a lot of UK work with quite prominent signs on the back of the trailer alerting to the truck being LHD, can’t remember which company but it wasn’t that long ago, mid to late 2000s perhaps.
