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.

    I’m left handed, and I grew up in Canada, currently living in Australia. I don’t drive differently at all.

    I guess if I were to nitpick, I prefer driving on the left side of the vehicle solely because of where my cup holder is (centre console), but that’s a non-issue if I had a car with a cup holder by the vent at the side window here in Australia.

    You get used to driving in your “non normal” side pretty quick. I like to sit as passenger in a car or bus a few times before I start driving in my “new” side again so my brain can readjust.
