It baffles me why cars that have the steering wheel on the left are called right-hand side cars. Anyway, as Benj pointed out, a lot of countries have right-hand side cars and a lot have left-hand side as well.

And since this is a spontaneous thing for me, not an article, not even a homework, researching isn't something I'd take the trouble of doing unless it's something serious.

As I said before, it's usually the offhand comments (not even serious ones) that get me in trouble. Now I can only hope blogger is fixed...
