      the advice I got before driving was: your left hand is the one where the thumb is pointing to your right hand

        If you lay your hands flat with each thumb pointed at the other hand, your left hand will form an “L” shape. That’s probably what they meant to say.

            That’s a sensible way to do it. You’ve got a built in asymmetry to map it to.
