Since maybe 5% of vehicles in the US have manual transmissions, I doubt it.
But you still have to get from park to drive.
Right hand drive really is confusing though — you steer with your right hand and shift gears with your left. Right? I still drive stick so it’s relevant.
Yes, but the shift pattern is still the same. Just remember to keep the driver’s side at the center line.
Now in St Thomas Virgin Islands they drive on the left side – in regular left hand drive vehicles. It’s very confusing and you have a HUGE blind spot on the right.
Once you’re in the driver’s seat it isn’t that difficult to adapt. Accelerator, brake & clutch are in the same place. Largest problem I found was absentmindedly walking to the wrong side of the car, never actually got IN the wrong side though…honest 🤥
