Right Hand Driving Cars

Right Hand Driving Cars

They position the steering wheel so the driver is on the center side of the road so that they can see to pass.Trying to see to pass with the wheel on the curb side is a near impossibility. You need a passenger who can coordinate passing spots for you and that passenger has to be darn good at judging safe distances for you. Source:Air Force retiree and Yahoo answers.

Most people are right handed. Therefore it makes more sense to control the steering wheel with your right hand and use your left for gears.

Japan produces most of the worlds cars and they are right hand drive.Though it has been noted that people in LHD vehicles have less accidents, possibly because the right eye is dominant.

In 1998, archaeologists found a track leading to a Roman quarry near Swindon, England. The grooves in the road on the left side (viewed facing down the track away from the quarry) were much deeper than those on the right side. These grooves suggest that the Romans drove on the left, at least in this particular location, since carts would exit the quarry heavily loaded, and enter it empty. As more people are right-handed, a horseman would thus be able to hold the reins with his left hand and keep his right hand freeā€”to offer in friendship to passing riders or to defend himself with a sword, if necessary.

The history of the keep-left rule can be traced back to ancient Greece, Egypt and Rome, and was more widely practised than right-side traffic. Ancient Greeks, Egyptians and Romans adhered to the left side while marching their troops.Because of congestion in the city. In the city of Rome, rules banned wagons and chariots during the day; in other parts of the Empire wheeled traffic was banned during the night, so as not to disturb citizens from sleep Pilgrims who wished to visit the city were instructed to keep to the left side of the road. By the time the Pope ordered instructions to keep left of the road, this rule was already widely used. The regulation has been practised by some countries ever since.

There is a popular story that Napoleon changed the rule of the road in the European countries he conquered from keep-left to keep-right. Some justifications are symbolic, such as that Napoleon himself was left- (or right-) handed, or that Britain, Napoleon’s enemy, kept left. Alternatively, troops passing on the left may have been tempted to raise their . Forcing them to pass on the right reduced conflict. Hence, island nations such as Britain and Japan (using ships to move troops around and having less need to move them overland) continued to drive on the left.

My Poem

If I were in charge of the world

I’d Limit school time

as in shorten the day

I’ll make houses for the poor

If I were in charge of the world

There would be Niceness in the air

Empty Animal shelters

barely no homeless people

If I were in charge of the world

You wouldn’t Be Homeless

You wouldn’t poor

You wouldn’t bored

Or worried about rude people

If I were in charge of the world.
