in jousting you pass with your opponent on your left i.e. driving on the right so i dont think the horse theory is right. In Sweden in the 60's they changed sides as well. Everybody had to be off the road by 12pm on the day they changed and two hours later they were allowed back on but on the right hand side of the road. Could you imagine if we did that now. We're not alone though, there's Japan and Australia and others i'm sure.
