Someone explained me why the British are driving at the wrong side of the road:
In the time there were no cars and roads were used by knights on horses, they drove at the left hand side. Doing so, they could take there sword, with their right hand, and defend themselves when somebody came from the other direction.
That sounds so great that one almost wonders why on the continent they didn't do so.

A colleague told me why people on the continent drive on the right. It goes back to the French revolution which wanted to change everything. One of the things they changed was the driving on the left. So it started in France and the rest of Europe took over.
Not sure if it's true though.
