soubriquet 0 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 The UK and ex-colonies drive on the left. Sweden was an exception and changed from the left to the right in the 60's. Why does Japan drive on the left? Link to post Share on other sites

soubriquet 0 Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 Thanks. UK drives on the left because that was the steering hand while the right was the whip hand. France chose the opposite, because they are French. Japan chose logic over contrairines too. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 France chose right, and so did much of Europe becase of Napolean who was left handed. And yes, because they are French. Link to post Share on other sites
