as for left / right or driver / passenger use, i totally agree with using driver / passenger because most people dont know if you are to decide left or right from sitting in the car or standing in front of it looking at it. i have dealt with this for over 40 years in my automotive business. it didnt take long to realize the need to question them on which side they actually meant. and for that matter most people dont know how to determine a right or left swing door. which in my construction business we always have to go over every single door to get it right.
