Well many of the great empires used to drive/ride on the left, the Egyptians, the Greeks and the Romans to mention but a few (source wikipedia).. ... and always wondered why you use left side of roads while rest of the world just the opposite : ) ........
wasn't is all down to Napoleon being left handed, blame the french
yup, anyway that is one of the explainations in the link I posted :thumbup:
And the reason driving on the left side is safer (according to wiki):
but unfortunately this didn't help you any Greg :banghead:In left-hand traffic, the predominantly better-performing right eye is used to monitor oncoming traffic and the driver's wing mirror (side mirror). In right-hand traffic, oncoming traffic and the driver's wing mirror are handled by the predominantly weaker left eye
