Why do people say left hand down instead of left? We all know which way
to turn the wheel to make the car go left, and it's the same in reverse.
And if I'm reversing looking over my shoulder, one hand isn't on the
wheel so the phrase makes no sense!


There are these things called mirrors that don't require you to look
over your shoulder.


Even better: the little TV camera built into the rear of some modern
cars which outputs a display to the car's computer screen.

Better still the two proper CCTV cameras that I have on each of two
vehicles, with a proper TV screen for the display.
