Have you ever tried to to drive in England? Maybe not. But surely those of you who have been to this country have felt the "thrill" of being hit several times, even on the pedestrian crossing because crossing the road you turned the wrong way. Here then, how many of you know why do the British drive "backwards"?
In reality, thinking carefully is not all this oddity. In fact, in ancient times it was mostly used right hand and he was inclined to use only that, so it was important to be able to fend from bad guys at all times too passing left when crossing people, this meant always having the right hand ready to draw a gun or a sword. It was therefore an obligation of survival to cross the opponent passing to the left.
We instead drive on the right because Napoleon which instead it was left-handed, he wanted his troops to pass to the right of the enemies. It was therefore Napoleon who spread this habit to the rest of continental Europe.
