Another problem is with rotary menu navigation. In my boss' Audi A8, the jogwheel is backwards - anti-clockwise to go down the menu, clockwise to go up. It took us ages to figure out why. Then I sat in the passenger seat and fiddled with the jogwheel. Instantly, it made total sense to have clockwise go up. When I switched back to the driver's side, it was a nightmare again. There's even a little trackpad thingy you can use with handwriting recognition - using the hand that for most people has literally never written a damned thing.

Then there's the problem of volume knobs. In a RHD car, I need the volume knob to be either in the middle or, preferably, on the RHS. Go on Amazon and try to find a decent car stereo with the volume knob on the right. I can't find one - can you? In order to change source, I have to reach past the usb stick and the aux cable (hopefully not knocking them) and try to press the button I can't see that's hidden on the wrong side of the volume knob I can barely reach.

Meanwhile what buttons are there for my right hand to deal with? The windows. That I never use. Because I have aircon.

*Rage*

Controls in LHD cars are always changed in a minimal way when for the RHD market. My car, for example, has no real change in the location of certain buttons and other "features" that the LHD has, and they make more sense for that configuration. For example, the coin tray is on the driver's side, and the cigar lighter (yes, that's what it's called - but it has a USB socket in it now) is on the passenger side. The shaping on the console where the hand brake is favours LHD use too. Not by too much, but by enough. You'll probably find that the windscreen het blowers favours the left side of the windscreen more than the right.

Completely agree that cars are LHD friendly. In the days when I had a Tomtom, I would fix it to the lower right edge of the windscreen. It meant that it didn't block the view of the road and that I could operate it using my right hand. It's been seven years or so of having a built-in satnav in my car and I'm much more adept at using my left hand to program it. That is, provided I'm navigating to a previously programmed address. Typing in a new address is much easier and safer with the car stationary.

Or you could just put something heavy on the passenger seat.
