Why Americans and Brits Choose Different Road Sides to Drive

The Era of Innovation: Henry Ford’s Model T, with its left-side driver’s seat, revolutionized the automotive industry. Countries like Canada, Italy, and Spain transitioned to right-side driving for passenger convenience, followed by Eastern Europe and Sweden in subsequent decades.
