It is my understanding that the reason the British drive on the right dates back to the Roman centurian guards. The guards wore their arms on their left side and could not pass one another on the right in narrow passageways lest their weapons became entangled. Later on, Napoleon changed this for whatever reason... I believe it was just because he loathed the British so. -Steve- |
