near-side
Side toward you
Near-side refers to the side of something closest to the observer or a reference point.
In driving contexts, the near-side is the side nearest the curb—left in countries that drive on the right, right in countries that drive on the left: The near-side mirror was damaged.
With horses and vehicles, near-side traditionally means the left side, where a handler stands.
