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

    and I still think about it

      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.

        This actually makes sense. I always assumed people know which one their dominant writing hand is and go from there. That’s what i always did until i just knew. Like when someone asked me, i made a fist or something with the hand i was writing with

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