Well it would of course. Confusion unfortunately arises when 'near side' or 'off side' are used to describe the location of things which aren't lhd or rhd dependant. To give an example or two.
- fuel filler on a 75 is always on the right (coincidentally this is the 'off side' on rhd cars).
- Steering wheel is always on the offside of the car (left for lhd cars, and right for rhd cars)
- Front passenger seat is always on the nearside of the car.
- Brake pad wear sensors, someone else might confirm if they are on the offside of the car or are they on the right hand side?
- clearly offside and nearside should only be used to describe the location of parts that switch Left/right depending on the lhd or rhd.
Exit stage nearside....
