Things to do in Honolulu?
J:
if you drive on the left, then the right side of the road becomes the wrong side.
how does that make sense?
David_Dovey:
Because homonyms?
Barmymoo:
After more than three months, I am still incapable of crossing a one-way street without looking both ways - one to check the way I actually know the traffic is coming from, and an involuntary flick to the other side because I can't quite believe that the cars won't come from there.

Opposite of that, actually. The Hondas, Acuras, Nissans, and Subarus I have driven all have indicators and headlights on the left and wipers on the right.
It always seemed strange to me that you would do all the active complicated things (shift gears, etc) with the side of your body that is not dominant. Unless you are a leftie, obviously.

In terms of wanting the control of a dominant hand, I would say steering trumps gear-shifting any time. :-P
