That cant be legal can it?

How do you read the speedo??
 
Imagine if you hit something, no airbags and some nasty looking metal devices to crush your legs and skewer your torso / head.

Americans are chubby, they'll be allright.

Presumably they use RHD stuff to deliver the post because they can't be bothered to walk around the car?
 
Is this an American's idea of dual controls ?
 
Brilliant, it must be a special conversion for getting the mrs more involved in driving. Indicators please, wipers please, how fast are we going, b**gger speed camera, hahahahahahahaha:bannana:
 
You guys are quick to make jokes about Americans :mad: but the text says it all. It is a conversion to make it useable as a mail delivery jeep. They are quite common in the Northeastern states as in winter a 4x4 is essential to deliver the mail.

Why does the steering wheel need to be on the right for mail delivery?

Well, since we drive on the right, and the mailboxes are at the side of the road . . . . If the driver was on the left side of the car, how the hell does he get the mail into the box?

And before some smart ***** says, "well he should just walk", would you want to walk a mile or two, between boxes? When I lived in New Hampshire, I had one neighbor who was only 10 feet away, the next nearest was 5 miles away.

This is a "standard" postal jeep which has a sliding door. Most of these are only 2 wheel drive for rural areas. In places like NH, there are 4x4 versions and sometimes the modded jeeps like in the auction.

So they don't get out of the car to deliver the mail?

No, not normally, unless the box is missing or there is a large package. Most places in the US have boxes at the side of the road, only in the cities will they have slots in the door like here and then yes they walk to each door.

They might, but at least they are on the pavement side of the vehicle rather than continually opening the door with traffic going around them.

The car is still pretty stupid and if not illegal definitely should be!
