I am right handed; but neither I think that my left hand would do a good job at shifting the gears and nor my left one isn't good enough at handling the wheel.

Changing gear is a more difficult task than controlling the steering wheel. It requires both grabbing and moving with a bigger range of motion. It is similar to playing violin and guitar - you would think we should use the better hand for press down massaging the strings which seems to be more difficult, but in reality we use the better hand for simply plucking or pulling the strings because of the range of motions.
