Did you know that 70-90% of people are right-handed.

According to Spock, therefore it is logical to drive on the RHS, and steer from the RHS.

Who can question Spock?

True, but since we are all right handed, wouldnt it be logical to gas and break with your right foot and shift with your right and not your left? Left hand just holds the wheel

That's why I buy my parts from the USA.

i actually do gas/brake with my right....i dunno why but the heel/toe has always felt better to me that way.

what i always wondered is why even though they switch the steering wheel etc on JDM cars BUT the pedal lineup is still the same even in a manual RHD car it still goes from L-R clutch, brake, gas....i wouldnt have been able to drive a RHD manual if it went L-R gas,brake,clutch
