I invite you to read this article: Left-Hand Drive Vs. Right-Hand Drive – Which Is Better? - Newspatrolling.com
Then reflect on the following points:
1. A right hand car is easier to control, and hence safer, for a right handed person. Similarly a left hand car would be easier to control and safer for a left handed person.
2. It's far more intuitive to think of the "right side of the road" as the "right side to drive" when learning driving.
Instead of trying to choose between driving conventions in the USA vs driving conventions in Europe, why not simply do the following:
Drive on the right side of the road using a right hand or left hand vehicle depending on whether one is right handed or left handed. Since the majority of the global population is right handed, this would mean, for the most part, right hand vehicles driving on the right side of the road. And for the left handed folks, all we will need is a big sticker on the back of the car letting the vehicles behind clearly know so that they don't have a problem with hand signals in case indicators fail for some reason.
Doesn't this make simpler, more intuitive, sense?
