I really don’t get why the states drive wrong-hand drive vehicles. It’s just stupid, most people are right handed. I bet you shoot like shit with your left, and if ever there was a country where shooting out of a vehicle that you’re driving was likely to be a common occurrence, it’s the US. Quid pro quo, it makes more sense for the US to drive on the other side.
I get where you’re going with this but I think you have made some incorrect assumptions.
You steer with the left hand, since manual gearboxes are for lorries and Europeans, Americans don’t use them, that leaves the right hand available for more important driving related things. Such as checking your phone, grabbing your 64oz soda from the cup holder, or shooting.
You will fail your driving test if you cannot demonstrate proficiency in switching between those tasks. It varies by state of course but typically it’s something like, 1) consume minimum 20 grams of sugar in liquid form 2) add a track to a Spotify playlist 3) put two rounds into a roadsign. Naturally this is a timed test.
Ah, you’re thinking about shooting inside the car, I see. I was assuming you’d want to have the right hand out of the window, taking pot-shots at the local flora/fauna/street signs/gang bangers
there are countries where people drive on the right side of the road, and then there are countries where people drive on the right side of the road.
