Driving off when you have two wheels on the kerb and two off can put a high torque load on drive shafts, when a wheel is momentarily airborne and free to spin, and then suddenly under heavy torque when it lands.
Its quite possible the drive shaft is a designed as the weakest link to protect internal gears etc. The balance between sufficiently strong, but sufficiently weak may tip due to corrosion stress fractures. So its worth protecting and extending its life as much as you can.
The fact the near side shaft appears less affected could be because Honda make it slightly stronger to minimise extra failures from driving off the kerb, . (Japan also drive on the left.) But there could be other reasons ,such as different length shafts etc.
Lets hope the high torque of the mk4 electric drive wont affect drive shafts. Probably less need to protect any internal gears . Unless Honda push the limits to save weight.
