Sorry, the correct side/wrong side designations was all me, I have 
trouble with light and reft, and didn't want to get mixed up with the 2 
meanings of right. Perhaps its an artefact of my imperial education ^^

Also some argue that it makes more sense in a modern car to change gear 
with the left hand and keep the stronger arm on the steering wheel. 
Early right-hand-drive cars either had all foot operated gears, or they 
were on the outside (actually outside the cockpit) rather than in the 
middle because they needed real effort, modern gears especially 
automatics don't need that effort any more.
