Have you ever wondered why we drive on the left side?
The Autoworld explains: "Ever wondered why we drive on the left while others drive on the right? The obvious answer would be, driving on the left is a legacy left to us by the Brits. However, let's delve a little deeper. The "rule of the roads in mainland Europe and the majority of countries in the world, including the United States, is to drive on the right.

In the United Kingdom and most countries that belong to the Commonwealth, the rule of the road remains to drive on the left. These include countries like Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Kenya, Zambia, some Caribbean islands, India and Pakistan. This rule also applies in Thailand and Japan.

The origin of the rule of the road dates back to how people travelled in violent feudal societies. As most people are right handed, it made sense to carry any weapon in the right hand. When passing a stranger on the road, it is safer to walk on the left so that the weapon is always between yourself and a possible opponent. Jousting knights also hold their lances in their right hand and passing each other's left. So it would be safe to say that the original "rule of the road" would be to travel on the left side of the road."
