Re: Why do we drive on the left?

Just how many countries do drive on the left? I know there's Australia, Japan and the last time I was in Cyprus it was the same there. I don't know any others though. I Also remember Sweeden changing over in the 60's. That would be an absolute nightmare. How the heck would they go about changing traffic lights, all the 'keep left' bollards, stop and slow sings, various signs painted on the road itself and directional signposts. Also, it is very difficult driving vehicles that are the wrong "hand," especially when it comes to overtaking. I wonder if that changeover in Sweeden caused a lot of accidents.
