Gentlemen, Since the dawn of time when proceeding along a highway one would always keep left, in order that your good arm would be forward should the need arise to defend oneself. This was reversed by Napoleon. He was left handed.

6ccorsa's point is a good one, but not all circuits are clockwise, however RHD does mean your good hand remains on the wheel when changing gear, so aiding critical steering input. For the same reason the throttle and brake are also operated with your good (right) foot. Simpler operations such as changing gear and operating the clutch are on the left.

Regards, Ed. Spider S4(RHD)
