Actually Joe, go look at your windshield and you will notice that the
drivers side is wiped different.  The drivers side wiper travels oh say 140
degrees while the passenger side only travels oh say about 100 degrees
(obviously estimations).  You will notice that the arms are slightly bent
different and should have a slightly different resting point to accomplish
this.  This clears as much of the windscreen as possible for the driver
while just doing what it has to for the passenger.

No I can assume given this fact that while ours wipe from right to left that
UK versions would wipe left to right to accomplish the same item.  Anyone
over there confirm this?

No Joke, 
Patrick
