The switching sides part is easy- the 'not turning on the wipers' part is more problematic. I joke that it is the tourist salute when they leave the rental lot at SYD..... I just had the honor of renting a "Great Wall" suv in Cairns after 4 different rental cars across australia... They have the opposite orientation of the signals and wipers, so doubly confusing.
