You get used to it after 5 minutes.
If you're car has manual transmission it's actually flat out wrong, hazardous at worst for the indicator stalk to be on the left side in a right hand drive car.

I'd say it's a mostly side effect from cars that are primarily produced for the LHD market and our compliance/ADR's aren't strict enough to do anything about it.

Don't get me wrong, there's lots to like about having a left side blinker switch in a RHD. Keep your arm or durrie out the window when indicating...

There's a safety contradiction!
