Countries that drive on the left
There is a lot of debate about the origins of either keeping left or right on roads, but the main reason for choosing one side or the other is to give the driver of a wide load the best vantage point possible when passing another vehicle. Many factors contribute to which side is favoured for example keeping left allows a riders sword arm to be free, or keep right for ease of whipping horses. So in a given country the particular historical factors at the time dictated which side of the road people tended to travel on.
