Would you drive differently as left-handed if wheel was on other side? (lemmy.world)

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.

For anyone anywhere that wants to know how to drive on the “right” side of the road, here’s a tip. You don’t even need to know your left from your right. Just keep the steering wheel of the car closest to the middle of the road but not over the centre line, that’s it. You can now drive in any country without worrying what is the right way or wrong way.

I have driven left hand drive cars in countries that drive on the left side of the road and right hand drive cars where they drive on the right side of the road. It can be kinda confusing compared to cars that have the steering wheel on the correct side but you get used to it. The hardest part is passing other vehicles on 2 lane roads.
