"While we are on the topic of autos learn to drive on the proper
side of the road."
My dear chap, let me explain. WE are driving on the proper side of the
road,
you on the wrong. The convention of driving on the left side of the
road
arose in the days when people routinely went armed with swords. As most
people will use a sword in their right hand, you are better placed to
defend
against an attacking swordsman if you can keep him to your right. There
was
no law about which side of the road to use, but due to the potential
for
surprise attack by an oncoming highway robber, it became established
practice to keep to the left.
THAT IS CORRECT. One thing puzzles me, why in all the Westerns we see,
Films or TV Shows are the STAGE COACH DRIVERS SAT ON THE PROPER SIDE.
Put an engine in it, well, the yanks have to be contrary to justify
their existence.
