I get that. My intuition often mixes both up, too.
That’s why I trained myself to say “driver-side” and “passenger-side” in my head when left or right come up. To a point where I don’t even have to think about thinking about it. I just visualize which side of car is meant instead of the rather abstract concept of left and right
Well, my brain seems to be affected by it according to that test (difference score of 11) if I interpret the scale correctly
But well, I also got autism and quite a few other mental conditions and learned all my life to cope quite well with all my disabilities; that’s why I specifically outsource direction question to a visualization that make the answer more tangible for me than listening to my intuition.
But well, what works for some doesn’t necessarily work for all. And probably my other conditions have some influence on it as well. We’re all different, after all; even if sharing a few traits.
I always imagine a (local) car, and remember which side the driver sits on

Might not help you; but it helps me

They sit on different sides in different countries though… You are lost on another country
That’s why I explicitly stated local.*
I don’t care which country I’m in and how they are driving there. I obviously visualize cars I grew up with.
E: well, I see how local can be interpreted as exactly the opposite of what I mean… oops
