Since 1970, car have been driven on the right side of road in Myanmar is like in our country Cambodia as well. The government of Myanmar has not required left hand drive (LHD) cars for the rule of driving on the right side. Most of cars are still right hand drive (RHD) which are made for left side driving rule countries. Myanmar's drivers have to rely on their passengers when passing other cars.

Car prices in Myanmar are among the highest in the world. In 2008, the two most popular cars in Yangon, 1986-87 Nissan Sunny Super Saloon and 1988 Toyota Corolla SE Limited, cost the equivalent of about US$20,000 and US$29,000 respectively because government allows only a few thousand cars to be imported each year in a country with over 50 million people.
