how many hundreds of thousands of brits manage to drive around france every year in their rhd cars?
i had LHD cars as my main / only transport for 7 years or so (integrale and e30 ) without a problem. you learn to position the car slightly differently, and use the curve of the road to look down the inside. people always assume you'll see the same as when you're a passenger in a rhd car, but it's not as the driver of that car is going to use their position to get the best view which blocks yours!
sitting in tailbacks you can see more as cars progressively edge to the right. easier to park, easier to look at pretty ladies on the pavement
and, as you have noticed, even without driving anywhere and having owned a rhd e30 for years, just sitting in a lhd e30 feels totally different, it's so obvious the car was designed to be like that.
i guess the physical differences are only millimeters, but the combination of seat, pedal and steering wheel positioning all feel so much more 'right' in a lhd e30.
