Couldnt imagine driving a stick with my left hand. Must be tough. Is 1st gear far left or close right?
As a Brit in the US, I've been asked this before, as well as "are the pedals reversed?!" It always makes me laugh. People don't seem to realise the only difference with right-hand drive is that you sit on the right. The gear stick operates exactly the same and the pedals too.
It makes more sense to sit on the right as the majority of people in the world are right handed - so surely it is safer to leave your dominant hand on the steering wheel when changing gear, fiddling with the radio, etc. with your left?
