> Some people learn that you push the stalk up to indicate your intent to turn left, or down to turn right. I was very confused for a good moment, because the turn signal in my car (which I drive in California) is on the left side of the steering wheel (itself on the left side of the car). I didn't realize the stalk might be on the right side of the wheel in other driver's-side-left cars until you said "some people will push the wrong stalk". The "push the stalk in the direction that you would turn the wheel" method is intuitive to me.
