Things to do in Honolulu?

Nah, with left hand drive you can rest your left arm on the windowsill and drive with the right. Mad comfy.
Lunchbox:
B..but.. I can rest my right elbow on the windowsill and drive with my right hand? (I also have a small car.)
Ozymandias:
Honestly, I'm just trying real hard to imagine right hand drive and it makes me feel claustrophobic for some reason.
Where's the clutch pedal on right hand drive?
Eris:
It's on the left, closest to the gearstick. It goes clutch, brake, accelerator from left to right.
Also the windscreen wipers are generally on the left side of the wheel, and the indicators on the right, thought I have driven a car where they were opposite and would constantly turn the wipers on instead of indicating.
David_Dovey:
Yeah I think generally European cars have the inicator on the left while Asian cars have it on the right. I can't for the life of me remember where a car actually built in Australia puts 'em.
Also yeah, even though the driver is on the opposite side from 'murka/Canada/Continental Europe to England or Australia, the pedals stay in the same place. I think Australia's way makes more sense on this one, you clutch and shift gears with the same side of yr body!
