> 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.

My father told me about going to Sweden by car back when they had left side driving; they had to switch sides at the border. Imagine that! I've been riding a bike in NZ, and had enough trouble with that, without having to switch back and forth while in motion...
