join us and register. now for the d. w global media for in 2020 for the just the 35 percent of the world's population drives in the left side of the road like i did for most of my life in india. of course this, the people are driving on the right hand side is wrong. why is this on which side of the road has people historically driven? how did the legs of napoleon and hitler play a part in getting people to switch sites with campbells really prevent focused on for making the change and which side of the door jelly is safe or to drive on? jeff builds into the history of list to the rights and wrongs within. right. and that's one of the 1st things i needed to come to terms with when i moved countries a few years ago, which got me thinking why to some countries drive on the left side of the road and others on the right side. who got to decide this,

and what did the engines almost have to do with it all? well, let's find those driving side seem pretty fix doing the most if you're in north america drive on the right side of the road by the britain and its former colonies like india focused on history. on new zealand, south africa, hong kong single, the list goes on drive on the list. and while it seems like all the respective rules a set in stone, you will be surprised to know that as recently as 2009 countries was still changing the mind. yes, it's 6 pm on september 7th, 2009 in the tiny island nation of some more voice crackled over the video, telling people to stop debbie. he goes wherever they will, it was the country's police ministers do a pip. it to yeah, $45.00 p. c, reading people for the country is big switch from the right to the left side of the road. the reason the government wanted to adopt the same driving standards as the islands near this neighbors was really a n u z, lynn,

because it would make importing vehicles into the country, easier for some ones who would then also have access to cheapest 2nd hand cards. believe i don't know if the transition went smoothly, they would, no accidents reported during the switch over which was regulated by the police. the only 0 complication was that the someone's hadn't figured out what to do with their buses, which still had doors that open on the right hand side. which meant that for the why last to the switch to moines was stepping off the buses into the middle of the street. something that eventually resulted but long before the people of some more i began to debate with tied up through the drive on the engine romans had already picked sides. see, somewhere between inventing concrete and aqueduct did also gone in boots the very 1st druids. and along with this, they decided which side of the road people ought to be on, and according to them, it was best to keep lift. it turns out that were 2 reasons for this. first back in

ancient room, people travelled on horseback. since most people are right and dominant, they'd mount the horses from the left side and they'd use their right hands to we did. the squads should be need to baffle enemies along the way. which meant it was easier to stick to the left side of the road and roman chevy abuse would use their lift hands to hold the jeans to the horses using that domain in tonight tends to with best deeds, all their rifles on the track. it's also said the poor boniface, the issue, that people edicts in 1380 stating all the drums traveling to rome or to stick to the list. although that doesn't appear to be any hard evidence of please. in fact, peter can get or put up a book called if you look through it seems to have uncovered evidence to the quantity. at any rate, the trend of keeping left straight across the entire roman empire, which extended over half of the yard and further the field. and that's how traffic

running on the list became. the no documented evidence of the left side traffic exists in britain weight and the 18th century, the london bridge act required traffic over the teams to keep list. and in the 19th century, the hi we activated in 35 me driving on the left side of the road nationwide low this into and meant the british colonies of down the way the adults. and the same standards driving on the left side of the road was the knob when and why did people begin to switch over? well, apparently it has something to do with the resolutions and wanting to break with the past. it speculated the, the american express switch to using the right side of the road after there was independence. it was a way of breaking with the colonial past and an attempt to denounce established conventions. but the 1st documented evidence of americans road traffic being asked to keep right within the 1792 pennsylvania statute. with a ton psych or total would be invest from lancaster to philadelphia. the statute

required on traffic to keep to the right to fit on bike. but even before this, american traffic could slowly been shifting to the dates, thanks to the comments, to buy these huge, the uniquely shaped cabbages will often boyd by 24 or 6 horses, in order to control them better, the wagon knew would sit under your left horse allowing his right hand to do most of the work with the whip, which also meant that keeping the night allowed for better visibility of civil with the head. since the day that would be able to judge oncoming traffic. that would cost to ballast. and well, people began switching sides and the new was winds of change were blowing across the order to it speculated the defend chevy use. and had a similar effect on trans as the american board of independence had in the usa in a be to break which additions defense rejected to keep list the key that had been imposed on them extensively by the judge. but there's another theory, the apple plastic tubing,

cabbages that would keep left forcing the peasants onto the right side of the street. off to the day, the news news was cecil, for the ditch to fall in line by switching to the right side of the street. that's avoiding standing up too much and potentially being link was sent to the your team . and there's another priority to it has to do with the little man in a blue jacket who had enrollments amounts of influence in crohn's and your to, to before he saw l by that is it's often said that an important in himself was left handed. so that's the hand with which he'd, we use his word keep, therefore preferred writing on the right side of the road which he into and forced on the rest of the french empire as his armies march 2 yards and eventually parts of africa and north america. they took the key pride with them. it was finally surrendered. north america stands with keeping right the advent of promot. okay. given that keeping date had already become the norm in the us. it's no surprise,

but when the 1st full model, the droid off, henry ford's assembly line it had the steering wheel placed on the left, which naturally meant it was easier to drive on the day simply so the drivers could see better just not to see us up in canada, some provinces drove on the left, but others drove and today, depending on whether they used to be british or french calling in between routes will be to connect to canada would be us keels interviewed to the decision was made the switch to driving on the day, incidentally, this was the same, tied up to that one tied. you and rebecca, the 2 largest provinces in the country already used vancouver with velocity in canada to make the switch as 6 pm on the 1st of january, 1922. back in your keeping right was gaining popularity. germany officially adopted driving on that side and 19 pen as he played again, strengthen the order he began to impose. all right,

and several of the head of trees like austria, entered the box here hungry, which until then had persisted in driving on the left. finally made the switch in 1941. eventually the full country and continental york drove on the list was sweeping. which brings us to dog and it's a real good chance to come. logan into which translates to right and traffic. so your organization quite the tongue twister and possibly be as complicated the pronounced as it was to execute. in 1967, the swedes decided that a switch to driving on the right side of the road would benefit them since it would even cross border traffic complications within notice neighbors, finland, n or we, since the country already use left hand drive cards which could lead the quite sensibly drive on the right side of the road. and since the on this cause was expected to substantially increase over the next 2 years, the settled on the dates for the switch. sweden had an executive campaign to make

sure the drivers wouldn't forget that they were meant to swap sides. the dog and each logo was in blazing, doing everything from bikini bottoms to wife runs and sulks. there was even a contest with pop band competed to make a song about the switch, the winning entry, a song go to the to who the swenson. ok, so the night swinson performed by the telescope. the bottom part of the process was more than this accident fee that will major logistically challenges because everything from road signs to bus stops needed to be swapped. the operation costs sweden, a whopping 120000000 swedish going up. that strep's be 160000000 your earliest today. and the country was left with the surplus buses with doors that opened out

on the left side, which the eventually shipped to kenya and focused on speaking of focus on it's been suggested that the country also considered switching from driving on the left to the right to be critical to new past. unfortunately, at the time a lot of state goods were moved using campbells, which had all been chained to walk on the left side of the road. it has been a ledge, the g training office to miss campbell was to go on the right side of the road was to begin ask and so plans for the switch for a band and the bid is bare to side of the road that's better and safer to drive on, and it's the left or the right side of the road, the actual right side. a 2020 study hypothesize that there was a link between host see if left 10 or right hand traffic was. and you'll see the logical factors let which can you please so which of your eyes is dominant and which side of the brain you use more? the study, analyze existing accident quotes to try and find which side of the road is felicia

for and was 50 years or so ago. there was some evidence that countries with left hand traffic supported fuel road accidents. the study eventually didn't deliver consumes of results. instead it said because it's put into right hand and right dominance, driving on the left could possibly be safer. nonetheless, it's certainly not the most popular choice would over. of course the has been other countries indebted season underwood switch driving sides over the years. japan drives from the left side of the road, but after world war to canada was on the american control. and so switch to driving on the drive. in contrast to the rest of the country, it was only in 1978 and what was called the 7 put the change over that attributed to driving on the left. iceland nigeria, sierra leone, human and tana all switched, driving sides at various points in time to but perhaps the quote case, which is the same. all happened in myanmar on 6 december 1917 young myers been

still quite boma switched from driving them the left side to the day because the countries need a genuine me when some feed exceeded. but since they don't need driven drive henny drive cars until then, they simply move them over to the right side of the road. a practice which continues to, to be in modern day me and my possibly the only country in the world right hand drive cause the silly drive on the right side of civil and unusual to say the least . which side of it, or do you want it? has there ever been a driving type in your body to it? we'd love to hear from you the the mushrooms save the world. kendra,
