Left Handed People And Driving! by Nobody: 9:37pm On Sep 27, 2014
Hello guys, most times one gets curious about the day to day life of a left handed individual especially when it comes to driving.

Hence one is tempted to ask, has it been convenient driving a car especially a manual transmission? Has anyone been in a car driven by a left handed driver? Did you notice anything different ?

Am also left handed and i drive very effectively. The thing about our hands is that once you start using a particular hand for something, you get used to it. Same goes for the mouse I handle the mouse perfectly with my right

I'm the craziest leftie alive use right to write, left to hit, right to eat, left to play ball, to cut with knife.. I drive well, the only snag I've noticed over the years is that I can't relax my right hand while driving.

I don't have any problems with driving (manual transmission). In my experience i think it`s much easier for left-handed people to drive with one hand on the wheel and one on the gear.

My younger brother is left handed... But that dude is good when it comes to driving... I really don't think it does affect them in any negative way.

Just noticed this left handed lady in churh yesterday was planning to do some googling on why some use the left hand and the probable side effect one thing i observe recently is that the governor of lagos state Babatunde Raji Fashola is a leftie . those people seem one kind to me .

Exactly. It`s much easier holding the wheel with your `strong hand` while the weaker one handles the stick which incidentally happens to be on your right cheesy

Lefties always have the advantage of using both hands better. While a right handed person sticks to using right from childhood, a left-handed person would be subjected to trying both hands until the parent are convinced

It's not hard at all..It's just like driving a right handed vehicle where you need your left hand to control the gear...
As long as you are not driving 9-11 trucks, gear shift are smooth in most cars.

It affected me. Its not about the left hand or steering wheel, Its about the leg. This is why I still can't drive a manual car.
Even in auto, I have had to train my right leg to use the brake and accelerator.

They should make cars for Lefties.
