Why the British people driving their cars from left ?

I know their part of the E U about time they fall in line

All the way back to the days of the Roman Empire traffic has been driving on the left hand side of the road.

This is for several reasons:

Almost all horsemen mount and dismount on the left side of their horse, so being on the left side of the road means that you're not doing it in the flow of traffic.

Waggons used to have open seats for the driver. He had to have his sword (or pistol) arm free to defend against highwaymen. As most people are right handed this meant that he sat on the right hand end of the bench seat - so that he could have unencumbered movement of his right arm. The waggons drove on the left side of the road so that the drivers of passing waggons (who sat on the right of their carts) had the best view to make sure that they didn't hit each other as they passed. The roads in horse and carriage days were much narrower than they are now.

It was Napoleon who was credited with introducing driving on the right about 200 years ago. Until then everyone drove on the left. So we in the UK (and a lot of other countries) drive on the left because it's the natural side of the road. it is everyone else who has changed this for their own reasons. We have no good reason to change sides. The cost would be so high that it's doubtful if it would ever be repaid within two lifetimes by any benefit to foreign drivers, even if you could justify doing it.

In England, carriages were driven by a coachman who sat on the carriage. For a right handed coachman, it is easier to control the horses with the reins in the left hand and the whip in the right. So the coachman tended to sit on the right of the carriage. If two carriages had to pass, the coachman had a better view if they passed on the left and the convention of driving on the left became normal.

In America, stage coach drivers sat on the right for the same reason, but a man with a shotgun sat on the left. If you met someone coming the other way in the Wild West,the chances were he intended to rob you, so you passed on the right to let the shotgun get a good aim. The convention of driving on the right became normal in America.

In France and Germany, it was common for carriages to be driven by a postillion who sat on one of the rear pair of horses. For a right handed postillion, it's easier to control the horses sitting on the left - so carriages tended to pass on the right.

So countries who drive on the right do so out of criminality or perversity.

You know why the rest of the world stupidly drive on the wrong side of the road? You follow under the weak and pathetic Napoleon (French) rule.

"Up to the late 1700's, everybody travelled on the left side of the road because it's the sensible option for feudal, violent societies of mostly right-handed people."

It's because Napoleon was left handed so he changed which side of the road you should be heading down, so if he ever came up against someone who wanted to kill him with a sword on his horse, he would have the chance to defend himself - funny though, because he would of never gone anywhere on horseback without being escorted by his guards. Stupid and selfish eh?

There are currently about 64 countries which drive on the left of the road.

Why not ask about them as well??

It is because we do.

It goes back to the Roman days of horse and carriages. Historically every country drove on the left, but it was later changed.

It's the others they driving on the false side.

cause we do lol
