Do you know? About two-thirds of the countries in the world drive on the right. But most areas of the world which formerly were British colonies still drive on the left-hand side of the road. The reasons for driving on different sides of the road are historical. 🇬🇧 British horse riders used to ride on the left-hand side of the road, thus keeping their right arm free to offer greetings to passersby or draw their sword. 🇺🇸 USA Teamsters (who drove animals) used to sit on the left-hand horse while driving a wagon and therefore keep their right hand free for whipping the other horses. In order to avoid collisions, they decided to start driving on the right so that they could see the passing wheels of other wagons.
