Why do different countries have varied driving sides (left/right)?

It’s like choosing which hand to use for eating, some people pick one side, others pick the other, and it all depends on where they grew up.

Long ago, when roads were just dirt paths, people didn’t have cars. They walked or rode horses, so no one really cared about which side of the road they used. But when cars came along, things changed, you couldn’t just walk in front of a car anymore!

Some countries decided to drive on the left side of the road, like in England and Japan. Others chose the right, like in France and the USA. Why? Well, it had to do with how people used their hands, just like when you write or eat.

If you're right-handed, it makes sense to drive on the right, so your hand is free to steer. If you're left-handed, driving on the left might feel more natural.

Once a country picks a side, everyone learns to drive that way, just like how kids learn to write with their right or left hands. Even if they move to another country, they still stick with what feels familiar, like wearing your favorite sock even if it’s mismatched!

That’s why some countries still drive on the left, and others on the right, it's all about what felt best when they started! It’s like choosing which hand to use for eating, some people pick one side, others pick the other, and it all depends on where they grew up.
