In Australia, the nearside of a vehicle is the left side, and the offside is the right side. This is because in right-hand drive vehicles (common in Australia), the driver sits on the right, making the left side the "near" side to the driver.
Elaboration:
Nearside:
The side of the vehicle closest to the kerb or the edge of the road, which is the left side in Australia.
Offside:
The side of the vehicle furthest from the kerb or edge of the road, which is the right side in Australia.
Right-hand drive vehicles:
In vehicles where the driver sits on the right side, the nearside is always the left side.
What is nearside on a car?
The nearside on a car is the side that’s closest to the kerb. The nearside is often called the passenger side; so, the nearside front is the front passenger seat on a car. The nearside rear is the passenger side of the car in the back seat.
If you’re looking for a particular car part, it may be described as “nearside”. For example, it may be called the nearside front light. If you’re trying to keep your car in tip top condition, check out our essential car maintenance checklist.
