I always wondered if this ever mattered at all to left-handed people. Like would it matter? Would you feel more confident about driving?
I know they also drive on different sides/lanes in some countries compared to the US where they drive on the right and wheel is on the left seat.
Would it impact you? Would you feel better with wheel on right side, driving right side while being left-handed or does it change when you have to drive on the left side as well?
This is assuming you are primarily left-handed but would also be curious if right-handed folk feel like driving on one side is easier/better than the other. I feel like I’d be very dyslexic if having to switch and drive on the other side I’m not normally driving in.
Does it make any difference to a right handed person?
The challenge is merely from what you’re used to, not your handed-ness.
For me, driving on the other side of the road is OK on large roads with limited access. But my ego has no issue handing the keys to my Brit friends once we’re across the channel. I can drive to the city, but dammit engrained habits/perspectives are hard to overcome, and driving in a city isn’t a place to do it.
I could see it being a little easier from a shifting point of view, except anyone who learned to shift right handed - even a left handed person - would find shifting on the other side challenging at first.
Watch Top Gear when they have Americans on - its always something they laugh about.
