We South Africans also drive on the left hand side of the road so we also sit on the right side of the car - Pedal layout is the same as LHD (Throttle on Right etc.). Interestingly in some motor racing history literature I came across some years back it was apparently quite common practice in th 50's & 60's (by the Italians I think) to reverse the layout for driver preference - this caused some nasty accidents when different drivers tried the cars. The other interesting layout I have seen is in an off road racing VW which had 2 additional brake pedals for the turning (cutting) brakes. Talk about confusing.
