Hi Guys,
Reverse printing of vehicles photographed out of their home country is a
common enough occurence. Perhaps slightly less common is the foreign pic
turned around just because the nation where the pic is printed drives on the
other side of the road. My guess would be that it is as common in the US as
it is elsewhere.
I do remember watching a British film series where two police officers ran
out of a building got into their LEFT hand drive police car and drove off.
Moments later in another shot the car was miraculously seen as RIGHT hand
drive. When I questioned the film company about this, it was explained that
to get a camera angle they were forced to use a large mirror for the first
shot sequence. I was complemented for split second observation and told that
of over 1 million viewers only one other person had contacted them about the
reverse sequence shot.
