No specific reason.It is only by tradition

coz we drive on the other side of the road and it helps a lot to see on both sides of the raod if u have a right hand drive car


yap
cos the rules is different in some countries and u should overtake from left not from right, it is like opp to what it is in india.....

Lack of communication between countries, back then...

also not a big deal back then.. only few ppl had car back then, mostly made by themselves...

So some made right hand some made left.. the car thingi grew so countries made the road and stuff accordingly..

and thus we have that.....

weird...

nice question though


ButwhatdoIno?
Early car inventors made both on the left side, the right side and in the middle. They decided in North America to drive on the right In England, on the left. In Italy, Egypt anywhere.
