Nice try
Allow me to explain why the US has it wrong
1. Most people are right handed, and so when driving right hand drive means the right hand (your more dominant coordinated hand) can stay on the wheel while the left hand changes gears, assuming of course you have a clutch and gear lever and aren't driving a grannie car.
2. Money shifts are nigh on impossible in a right hand drive. I won't say impossible because I'm sure some idiot could do it, but the cause of money shifting is tension and pulling the lever towards yourself instead of straight back (made worse by "pistol grip" shifters which deliberately place the hand in the wrong position), which is only likely to cause a 3rd to 6th mistake, not a 3rd to 2nd mistake when trying to grab 4th.
