Nothing to really worry about - I think the reason for that is because the driver side is more likely to get hit by oncoming traffic.

Maybe not the case, the car pictured is I assume a LHD model so the extra protection would be on the other side for RHD.

As you suggest it gives additional protection to the driver's side only but what when I take my new RHD RAV 4 to europe and I'm now driving on the other side of the road?

Cost savings before safety?

That's what I assume too so it's on the side it should be for LHD.

It is a Toyota after all though so they have to make cost savings somewhere and it got 5 stars did it not? So one might say it doesn't make a huge difference
