The traditionally held view is that right handed people used to drive on the left side so that their stronger hand can be used for any needed defence!! I always used to wonder how come various countries decide on which handed drive they would like to embrace for them.
The reasons that countries around the world drive on either the left side of the road or the right side of the road are outlined chronologically. A table of countries lists every country and whether they drive on the left side of the road or the right side of the road. Some links have also been added to the references on the subject of the history of traffic lights. Interesting read.
