I would posit that, when driving an automobile with a manual
gearbox, using one's right hand to control the wheel (assuming one is
right handed), with the other hand using the gear change, is a better idea.
I'm right handed and learnt to drive in Germany and found that using
the right hand to manipulate the gear lever and handbrake felt natural
and controlled. It seemed awkward when I first drove in the UK and it
took a while to adjust.
