Default Right side driving in the states

recently i saw a guy with a skyline right from japan
i didnt get a chance to talk to him
but i wanted to ask about the driver side being on the opposite side and if it was legal
does anyone know the law about this?
I live in tennessee if that makes a difference but i cant seem to find anything on this
is there an actual term used for the steering wheel being on the other side?
I'm wanting to import an audi from england just to be different .. ; )

thx

I've always known it to be legal in Canada. Doesn't really have that much of an effect. I imagine passing on 2-lane highways would be sketchy, though!

left hand drive in the uk is better than right hand drive because you see the side walk rather than the white line like the right hand drive, personally I like the USA standard on a UK setting
