Pardon my heathen ways, but which is which? I can never figure it out. Left, right, port, starboard, driver's, passenger's - I got all that. But near side and off side? Near what?!
:-?

:-?
Nearside --to the side of the road ie passenger side
Offside--away from the side of the road ie drivers side
Unless your driving a left hooker, of course

Er, wouldn't that definition apply equally well to LHD? ;)
-
No, because in this country, driving on the left, the drivers side would be NEARest to the kerb, hence the nearside.
Dont get me started, or I will get confused as well

Why do you think I brought in marine/aviation terms?
I used to look at pictures of groups of people wondering why the names were wrong. Because I kept using the peoples left not my left.
People look under bonnet and some say air filter on left some on right, RHD = O/S LHD = N/S.
I remember finding on the 2.0 that my crank case breather is on LHS and some on RHS - both meant Port.
To me left on a car is ALWAYS looking towards front

Yes, but I am also trying to figure this out. A while back I tried asking several people what the national speed limit was and no one knew :o It's funny how you think you know things, but when really asked you can't answer for sure.

Yeah, for me left is always the car's left. Yet engines are now being defined the other way? On the V6 cams 1-2-3-4 go from right to left? Too many pimply techs I suppose.

N/S is always the side nearest kerb, be the car LHD or RHD, and in any country.

Is that looking towards the front from the back or from the front?

Exactly, I couldn't have put it better myself. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Mod: unless you've parked facing the wrong way of course. Then the offside is nearest the kerb and the nearside is in the middle of the road. :-?
