I had a colleague running a rhd Mazda Miata in an lhd country. He would just use some waste pickup tool/pliers to extend his arm and present his parking card at the garage entry or to pay the highway tolls with his credit card.

It is more annoying when you are following a slow truck on a small road and you would like to be able to overtake but can't see it easily. But most people these days aren't comfortable enough to overtake and are willing to wait indefinitely. It seems like shifting down a floor the accelerator pedal is a lost art and it doesn't help that with hybrid cars all cars become automatic. Having driven my mother in law honda automatic SUV, I could just wait a few seconds before the auto gearbox actually decide to shift down.

So not super practical but no big deal either.
