Losing the superiority complex for one.

I think the issue is smug contrarianism.

actually, left-lane is indeed better, majority of people are right-handed, its much more practical and safer to have your dominant hand on the steering wheel during shifting/overtaking/whatever
>>

you moron, did you even read the thread

Brits and Japs drive left sided so they can quickly stab a passer by with their main hand

Rest of world drives right sided so men sitting on left side of cart can pass other carts on right with least chances of a collision
>>
>>14910500
>dominant hand on the steering wheel
No it's not.
It's better to have your stronger harm on the shifter to shift those hard shifts.
The wheel can be used with both hands, the shifter cannot. So it's best to have your stronger and more precise hand on the shifter

maybe you just have shit motor control stupid fucking faggot ever think about that huh

Someone who should never operate a standard transmission. And this is coming from someone who drives on the right hand side of the road.

>>14910500
I'd argue it's more important to have your dominant hand to operate the radio and other fiddly things in the center console so it takes less of your attention away from driving. Steering is a pretty coarse operation most of the time, and for the times it isn't, you'll have both hands on the wheel anyway.

There is, however one good argument for left-lane driving: vision. Most people are right-eye dominant, and left-lane driving gives your right eye a better overall view of the road.

But it doesn't really matter either way.
>>
>>14911102
>>14911745
yes who cares about steering with precision, much more important to mash the gears in and adjust your radio
>>
>>14911980
How often do you need to drive one-handed with more precision than your left hand is capable of?

>smug contrarianism.
That IS why America drives on the right, though.

Most of the rest of the world does it because Napoleon was left-handed and wanted his sword arm to be on the side of oncoming people.

Otherwise, left-side is superior for safety; most people are right handed and right eye dominant. That means their dominant hand is on the steering wheel, and their dominant eye can see down the middle of the road.

Main reasons to change to the left would be cheap Japanese used cars. Take a look at NZ car market for instance.

It doesn't matter on what side you drive, it only matters that everyone does the same so we can streamline mass production. Muh dominant eyes/hands is percentile jerking. Same with Americans and their imperial measurements. Nothing but unnecessary paperwork and effort.

BTW. Old pre war racing cars like for example the bugattis. Had the shifter outside the car so that even in a right hand drive car the driver would use the right hand to shift gears.

>>14911980
Well, you can use your right hand on the steering when you aren't using it elsewhere.
And when you are using it elsewhere, it's better that you use your best hand.
