If you're planning a road trip around the circumference of your country, don't forget to go anti-clockwise in Australia, New Zealand and the UK, and clockwise around the US, Canada and other wrong-side-of-the-road countries.

Why? It's shorter.

Technically, you Yanks drive on the correct side since that's the way the Germans do it, and the fist car *was* a Benz.

I heard the English changed because it was proper to mount a horse or carriage from the left, so the passengers "mounted" the car (ie, a horseless carriage) from the left off the footpath.

and I don't know why I think about things like this. I just do.
