a few physics questions?

Most countries in Europe drive on the right hand side of the road, so the gas and brake are on the left. The UK drives on the left hand side of the road, and so British cars have the gas and brake on the right (and clutch, since most British cars are manual/stick shift).

What does the overdrive button in my car do?

In the UK and Japan at least, you drive on the right side, but sorry dodge man you are incorrect, I spent three years in england and several visits to Japan and all the cars i drove where right hand drive, manual trans. the gas brake and clutch were exactly the same way as North America. Rt foot Gas, etc. Shifting with your left hand did take some geting used to though.
