If coach drivers sat on left, whip would have passed down centre of coach, possibly taking out the eye of any passenger.
When cars came along we placed the steering wheel on the right, as this was the logical place, as all drivers were quite at home in that seat.
Your car designers for some obscure reason (probably a left handed ex whip cracker) placed the steering wheel on the left, which is the reason you and many other nation all drive on the wrong side of the road!
As for the sword, you try drawing it in a hurry, if you have a load of passengers to you right hand side. Logic!!  |

as you may know by royal decree there is no more jousting, horse and buggy riding, save hrh, god save the queen, ( from her relatives,) whips, dueling, racking, drawn and quartering, knights of the round table, merlin or saving my favorite for last hogwarts and its denizens.
So as sherlock would say, is it not , " elementary my dear sir 💵² that l o g ic calls for putting away foolish things.
Btw how's the irish sea border talks going. Heard there's a banger war coming. More trench war in the offing? Hip hip.
