Normally, I just start writing on the iDrive knob, but had to use my left hand. I do not know how to write with my left hand.
How do you guys in left-hand side driving countries deal with this?
You train your body. I am completely left handed. But I swing a baseball bat and a golf club right handed (both two hand activities). I also use a computer mouse on my right hand. The reason is that I am the only left handed person in my household and our first personal computer was a family one. So I learned to use a mouse.

I also notice that even though I do just about everything left handed, i catch a ball better with my right hand. I am sure the reason is that one wears a baseball glove on the opposite side so for me I wear the glove on my right hand.

My point is that once the body trains itself to use a particular hand, using the other for that function does seem weird.
