Fact ... in the US you only drive on the wrong side of the road due to something called a Revolution ... some smart **** thought it would be cool (and presumably very funny) to copy the stupid French (who had also recently had a revolution) and drive on the wrong side (they also copied the French stupid money).

The side of the road on which a country drives is usually dependant on who's colony the country once was. The French and Spanish got about a bit but so did the British. The only real exception to this rule is Canada. Canada changed to take advantage of cheep imports from the US and to make smuggling booze over the border easier during prohibition.

Please don't take the seriously folks...I'm not even sure of my facts.
