Default RHD gear selection

How are the gears setup for shifting on a RHD car? Is 1st still on the top left, or would it switch to top right?

First is on the right, reverse is on the left.

Pedals are flipped, so brake pedal is still in the centre, but accelerator and clutch are mirrored from LHD.

The steering is inverted too - turning left on the wheel will turn the wheels to the right.

The engine spins anticlockwise because of the coriolis effect.

The speedometer needle sweeps from right to left.

The sliding switch for the maplight activates in the other direction.





RHD is weird but it's what I learnt on so it's no biggie.
