Just noticed that on left-hand drive cars, the indicator stalk remains on the left side of the steering wheel. Then it got me thinking; we have ours on the wrong side.
In our right-hand drive cars, we have indicator stalks on the left, and wipers on the right. This doesn't actually make sense, because our left hand is busy utilising the gear stick. This is especially prevalent when turning as it's more likely you'll be changing gear and your left hand is occupied with that. The idea would be that the least-used stalk goes on the left as you won't need to touch it (either at all, or once or twice a journey).
Am I wrong, or should I buy an automatic which renders my point completely useless?
