Nearside and offside also make no sense to me as it's not a term used in North America. It gets particularly abstract when used interchangeably with driver/passenger as my ZT is a LHD model. When I try to equate it with the curb (kerb) I have to remember the kerb in the UK is on the other side and I totally lose touch with reality. My MGF is RHD so I have no consistency in my motoring life and become totally confused!
Left hand and right hand I do understand.
