What?! Since I don't do drive throughs, I've never noticed, but you've just made my lunch choice for today just so I can check.

My thinking may be way off, but wouldn't it almost be better when you're merging on the freeway? You have more space to see the oncoming traffic on the left when you're sitting on the right, I would imagine it would feel funky driving on the right side of the road while sitting on the right side of the car, but it wouldn't take but a few weeks to get used to. I think shifting with my left hand would feel the most awkward..
Not sure if it would help merging. It might help with passing, since a lot of slow drivers also like to keep to the left part of the lane, making it easier to see around them from the right part of the lane. I do this all the time on my bike.

That one time I drove a RHD, shifting with my left hand felt quite natural, however I'm left handed. Wrong-handed people tended to need a couple days to get used to it.
