Indicator stalk should (on a right hand drive car) be on the right side of the column - so you can indicate and change gear. With the creeping Euro-isation of cars the norm nowadays is for them to be on the left -'cos manufacturers can't be arsed to do it properly.
Jap cars being built in a left driving country used to be good for having the indicator on the proper side, but the latest Mitsi I bought has succumbed to a global market and now has indicators on the left.

Originally posted by zeitghostCan't critisize that too much, since I've done it myself... my formative driving years all had the indicator stalk on the right, and now it's on the left.
Which is ok until I drive my father's Toyota... then it's a week of total confusion.

I bought a Nissan for £2000, over 10 years old, It had 180,000 km and now has 270,000. It hasn't gone wrong once, just needs parts replacing from time to time.

Originally posted by zeitghostI wouldn't be too sure of that... having followed a lady consistently indicating left when she meant right & vice versa...
