Although he 'exits' from the left hand door, if it was a left hand drive car, he would be the driver.
If it were a right hand model, he may have slid across, still making hm the driver 🤔
Unless you really don't like the driver. After all it was his driving that got you into that accident. Pain and suffering is a big thing in the states. Consider the idiot....I mean the woman that burned her...lap by spilling hot coffee claiming the cup didn't say of the cup of hot coffee she purchased that it was hot 🤔🙄🤣
