RE: [CBQ] Left handed engines

I think Rupert raised the question of why we Yanks insist on driving on the Right rather than on the Left as they do in the British Empire.

 

Here is a link to the full explanation http://www.worldstandards.eu/cars/driving-on-the-left/ which was quite interesting.  Turns out it has to do with revolutions and multi-horse team wagons.

 

Having been in countries that do it the wrong way I still think it isn’t Right!!!   (driving isn’t something I would try because it is bad enough trying to remember to look the opposite way when stepping off the curb so as not to be run over!!)
