I have a feeling that the function of the stalks behind the steering
wheel has quietly become standardised, irrespective of LHD or RHD
(Indicators on the left, wipers on the right.) I've not sat in a recent
car that was any different, some of the other function that the stalks do
may vary but the basic indicator and wiper on/off is consistent.

Ah well I can't afford a Lexus and they are not normally the bog standard
saloon hire car either. Mind the Toyata and Nissan "ordinary" hire
motors I had recently where the same as my old Mondeo and the Disco II.

Make that pretty much every Jap car, Korean car and most US vehicles.

In sensible countries the indicators are always on the side away from
the gear lever.

But we are Good Europeans, so we make life difficult for ourselves.
