Have been told a similar story - A knight on horseback would be carrying his lance on his right side, thus would want to be on the left side of the road to meet opponents on the right (lance) side. On this side of the ocean, a wagon or carrage driver would want to use the reins and whip with his right hand, so would want to be on the left side of vehicle, and have oncoming traffic on his left, to avoid collisions! As far as driving on the wrong side, I've been a driver education teacher for 32 years, traveled about the equivalent of about four times around the world, driving from the right side! And all I have is a brake pedal, if I need a steering wheel, I have to reach over and take control of student's wheel! I've had no problems driving from the wrong side of car! At one school, I would drop kids off at school, and then drive car across town to the bus garage. Often would just reach over, use left foot on accelerator, and drive from teacher's position..... Got a very funny look from the town cop one afternoon!
