When one is driving the car (either RHD or LHD) and is told to "turn right",
which way would most of us turn? We turn "right". I feel that that makes
that side of the car the "right" side, agreeing with Kees & others.

near side, off side, left hand side, right hannd side, LHD, RHD!! It
all gets complicated with all the possibilities, habits, nationality,
country, e.g. near side in the USA is off side in the UK.
Right and left is as seen from the perspective of the driver sitting in
his car.
