...after all that's why it's called "the right"

but seriously? even Canada and Europe, Japan w/e are they all RHD?
this just baffles me, How could I shift with my left hand?
and how are the Pedals set up? Accelerator on the left and clutch on the right?? wtf the wrinkles in my brain don't bend that way

I imported a RHD and drove it here for over a year. People who never even driven a RHD disputed that they're dangerous and should be banned. They've already banned them in one province, and making them difficult to register in many others. But the truth is, it's no different than a LHD once you've gotten used to the opposite mirror position and turn signal controls. Shifting with the left hand is not difficult to get used to.

From a physical point of view - I would partially agree on RHD car being more "dangerous" (probably not the best word for it) on right-side roads, as your left mirror is somewhere on the edge of your line of sight, while the right one is inside it. So when somebody starts to overtake you legally, you will not be aware of it, as you would be in a LHD car. The good thing is you will instantly spot if somebody is doing something stupid like overtaking you on your right side.
But I don't see this as an actual reason for a ban on RHD vehicles, as it is something you get used to and become more careful when changing lanes or overtaking other vehicles.

Would like to try my left hand at shifting some day though
