> I read somewhere that if you look at a map, you'll find that all of the countries that still practice driving on the left-hand side of the road are island nations. The reason they haven't had to switch is because they have no borders with right-side driving countries.

This may well be so. Australia and Japan drive on the left and they're islands. Don't know whether New Zealand or Iceland are left-siders. I think Sweden were until 1967 when they had a mass switchover day. Everyone stopped, they changed the signs and markings and then everyone continued on the right.
