World Map of Right-Side vs Left-Side Drivers

Did the blue team get the memo?

 

Englander's... their "influence" was world-wide.

 

We win!!!!

 

Who would ever thought there was a topic where most of the world was right?

 

The English influence in the USA must have back fired since were on the Blue team. However we did Come up with our own measurements quart, gallon, inches etc

 

Hmmm...... In my experience, China and Italy should be red and blue stripes. People drive on whichever side of the road is convenient.

Burma would have been blue up to 1990. They drove on the left until then. Then SLORC decided that driving on the left was decadent and pro-colonial, and switched everyone to driving on the right. Unfortunately, most cars in Burma are brought in second-hand from Thailand, and are therefore right-hand drive. So everyone has their steering wheel on the wrong side. Which is unfortunate.

Sweden switched in 1967.

And Thailand. They were never colonised.

Portugal used to drive on the left. I can't remember when they changed. But some Portuguese colonies, like Macau and Mozambique, still drive on the left.

Taiwan is odd. They built their railways under Japanese rule, so their trains go on the left. But they started to get lots of cars after Japanese rule had finished, so they drive on the right (nominally, at least).
