that picture with an LHD car complicates the situation.
The way I learned the difference between near and offside (and it will apply to LHD cars for RH lane driving).
Near (the kerb) side so therefore that means offside is not near (the kerb) side lol.
Conventionally, when determining the right or left side of the car, (unless it specifically states otherwise), in a right hand drive car (everyone knows what is a RHD car), the side with the steering wheel is the right side. In a LHD drive car, the side with the steering wheel is left.
eg the fuel filler cap on ours cars is on the right hand side. With the
specifically stated otherwise version of that statement is, when looking at the front of the car, the fuel filler cap is on the left side - it is still the same side ....................
