Why steering is positioned at left or right side of a vehicle and not at the centre?

Having the steering at the left or right side of the car seats the driver closer to the center of the road. (Steering on left in countries which drive on the right-hand side, and vice versa) This makes it easier for the driver to accurately judge how close to the center of the road the car is.

Two guesses, but admittedly, guesses.  First, for space.  Usually, the DS drives, the assistant DS is on the passenger seat, and the mechanic is at the back.  Second, because of tradition?  It has been like that since support vehicles were introduced to thte TDF.

Gravity,it is often diffacult to tell which direction you are faceing, the teory is to whatch the saliver to see which way it goes.so you digg in the opposite direction and not bury your self ferther

D. The road.\n\nIf you draw a free-body diagram you'll see a frictional force vector pointing in the direction of motion.

Just a quirk of history.  As to safety, there's really no difference.  In places where folks drive on "the other side," the driver is also "on the other side."  This means that visibility remains the same.

You have a bevel gear on the end of the drive shaft (the input shaft to the differential). This gear right-angle drives a large "planetary" or ring gear that rotates about the axle but is not attached to it directly, but is attached via a yoke that carries two intermediate bevel gears, and these gears mesh with the gears that drive the two wheels. (You really need to look at the ref.) When the two wheels want to rotate at the same speed, the two bevel gears do not need to rotate and the transmission acts like a simple nondifferential mechanism. However any differential motion of the wheels is accommodated by rotation of the intermediate gears.\nP.S. For some reason I had to go to another page (at the ref. website) and then back to get the animations to work right.

Probably the left.  Even in other countries where they drive on the left side of the road, the gas is still on the left.

Think of the wheels as spinning masses or revolving weights, in fact gyroscopes. \nEach wants to turn left or right while spinning but is constrained by it's axis,\nHowever both drift overtime.\nNow add another pair further back and wider apart, and this pair are not on the same line of travel.\nWith four wheels all wanting to drift the resultant direction becomes a straighter line.

No. Remember  its your car,  your steering, your gas, you drive it as you wish

Because most people are right-handed.  Because lefty's like myself are weird.  Give me a break!

adjust the trim tab, check the prop, and check for a broken steering cable or part. More than likely you trim tab is out of adjustment. good luck

the site location will determine if the house is left handed with garage on left or right handed with garage on right. if a light pole or fire hydrant or drain or tree prevent the driveway location then they reverse the plan and build you a mirror image of it.

The simplest explanation I know is in terms of the instant center.  We all think of a wheel as rotating about its axis.  That is true, relative to the tricycle frame.  However, relative to the ground, the axle moves forward.  The point where the tire touches the ground is stationary.  It does not move with respect to the ground.  An instant later, another part of the tire is touching the ground and again, for an instant, that point on the tire is stationary.  \n\nOn any rotating body, the spot that does not move (it may rotatebut not translate) is the center.  At any instant, the part of the tire touching the ground is not moving and is, by definition, the instant center.  The wheel is rotating about this instant center.  SInce the pedal is above the instant center, your forward horizontal force rotates the wheel forward.\n\nYou can prove this all to yourself by trying a few things with the string on the pedal.  Instead of pulling horizontally, raise the angle of the string.  When the line of action of the string passes through the contact point between the tire and the road, you will find that pulling on the string will not rotate the wheel.  If you pull hard enough the trike will move but the front wheel just skids.  Since the line of action of the applied force is passing through the center of rotation, there is no torque to spin the wheel.\n\nRaise the string higher and the trike will roll backwards because the force is acting on the other side of the center creating a torque in the opposite direction causing the wheel to turn the other way.   \n\nIf you don't have a trike handy, you can do this with a spool and a string.  Just wrap the string sround the spool with the end coming off the bottom of the spool.

The design of an automobile suspension system includes the actions of tires and suspension springs and roll bars which are often optimized to reduce (but not eliminate) the forces that roll a car outward in the opposite direction of a turn.  See the link.\n\nPerhaps it is easier to "see" the effects of turning if you exaggerate them.  The center of mass (or center of gravity) must be above the pavement and it wishes to continue in a straight line ahead as the tires initiate a turn say to the right.  This makes the center of mass lean left.  Imagine that the the car was say 100 feet tall with its center of mass 50 ft above the ground but with the tires only five feet apart.  It would have to lean away from the turn, right?\n\nThis is unlike a bicycle which has only two wheels and where the rider leans into the turn to avoid falling off.  It is also unlike a speedboat where rudder action allows the boat to lean into a turn.  However a navy Destroyer leans away from the turn in a sharp maneuver because the rudder can not overcome the fact that the center of gravity is below the center of buoyancy to avoid capsizing.

Not all tracks run counter clockwise. Barbagallo Raceway in Perth Western Australia runs clockwise. Aswell as Queensland Raceway in Australia. Silverstone runs clockwise. Brands Hatch runs clockwise. There just a few. Want to know more just ask.
