...after all that's why it's called "the right"

but seriously? even Canada and Europe, Japan w/e are they all RHD?
this just baffles me, How could I shift with my left hand?
and how are the Pedals set up? Accelerator on the left and clutch on the right?? wtf the wrinkles in my brain don't bend that way

It is a reflection of the British Empire. The true test is to find countries that
t drive on the left hand side of the road that WEREN'T under either British rule or influenced by them.

The U.S.A. is the one exception to the rule to my knowledge, however to be fair cars weren't exactly around when we were under British law.

Canada is still a member of the Commonwealth -- there's a reason Queen Elizabeth II is on our coinage (note, NOT the queen of England, the queen of Canada). Most of the Middle East was also under British influence (who do you think did all the partitioning?).
