| Why do they drive in left in Britain and on the right in other countries The reason for this goes back to the days when people travelled by horse. Most people are right-handed,and thus the left is the natural side to ride on if you are on horseback and need your right hand to hold a sword in case of trouble.So why didn't the rest of the world do the same? Because of Napoleon Bonapart.He insisted his armies marched on the right, and as he marched through Europe, he imposed this rule wherever he went.In the twentieth century Adol Hitler did the same, signs reading 'Rechts fahren' were put up whenever he took over a country The question suggests that only the british drive on the left, but in fact out of 178 countries in the world,there are about 50 that drive on the left including Japan. However, most of them are former british colonies | |
