Just been asked by my Russian friend alexey, why is it that in the UK we drive on the left.. obviously I replied with "Probably because the French drove on the right and we don't like them so did it different", but he was actually asking a serious question! Which got me thinking... why do we drive on the left? What was it in history and at what time, did we decide that the left was for us?
