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.

    As a lefty, I would hate having to control the shifter with my left hand; it feels a lot more natural on the steering wheel. Furthermore, I don’t understand why right hand drive cars don’t have mirrored transmissions. Having first gear be away from you would be so weird.

    Also I prefer to play guitar right-handed as well, because why would I want to have my dominant hand do the strumming? It makes a lot more sense for me to do the fretting with my left hand, since it is more difficult than strumming.
