Slush ( snipped-for-privacy@sk.org) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :
Is your car LHD or RHD?
Which "Left" or "Right" is it?
saying :
It's the "Right" one, the wheel's on the Right not the "Left"
It's on the "Left" if you're facing the vehicle, but on the "Right" from behind the wheel.
I think that's right.

*ding*Now, would they use different Left and Right for different things?
Clue: Car designers are mostly male, so there's no "Turn Left" "No, not THAT Left, the OTHER Left".
If in the UK, right refers to driver's side.

I'll remember that, next time I'm in one of my LHD cars...
So long as you're driving on the right side of the road....

God, no. Somebody might hit me head-on.
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Slush" saying something like:
The convention is from behind the wheel.
Or as I heard recently "Wedding ring left"

Indeed. Now we've cleared that up, tell me which is the front of the engine on a rear-engined VW?

Put your left indicator on, get out and take a look... ;-)
