Driving Road Left or right ?

Why drive to the country on the left, while in some other country on the right ?

this back to the fact that most people do not lefty.
long before we have the modern weaponry and vehicles, such as gun layers of steel, people went to war to use the sword and horse. So, if we do not lefty, we hang the sword on the left so we can withdraw it quickly using the right hand. but with a sword scabbard, hanging on the left, the only way to the back of horse ride with the foot rest is left to play and ride right foot free to horseback. and unless we the stuntman who advanced to the ride while kebelakang, the head of a horse will ride be facing left. based on this experience up to now still riding horses from the left.

Once back in the horse and spur it, we will remain on the left way, because anyone who comes from the front will be on the right, and if the person is in fact the enemy, we easily draw the sword and cut it, with the right hand. it is always wise equestrian choose to run on the left.

Must run on the left side of the coachman also agreed with the aim that the train does not collide with the equestrian. Later when the train without a horse show, some countries continue this habit, especially during a transition period when both types of vehicles still using the same road.

Then why in the United States and in many other countries people drive prefer to the right?

When the sword is missing, as bow and arrow, the need to keep running to the left as an effort to self-defense is not absolute anymore, then suddenly agreed to run on the left is not obeyed. Countries and new countries that are not bound by tradition to be the right move, because they seem the most of the lefty does not feel more comfortable on the right way. quick lefty feel that those who insist against lefty is not the act that is not wise.

A special, on the country most people seem equally skilled to use the right hand and left hand, they prefer a section of the road running.
