Driving: on the LEFT OR on the RIGHT? Although the UK and the US share several characteristics, such as their language, they are also different in many ways. One of these is driving. The main difference between the two countries is that, in the UK, people drive on the left side of the road and the driver’s seat is on the right side of the car. About 35% of the world’s population does the same, including other Anglophone countries such as Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, as well as countries in Asia, Africa and the Caribbean that used to be British colonies. Although much of the world thinks that British people drive on the ‘wrong’ side of the road, originally, the majority of people travelled on the left side of the road. In medieval times, an often violent period of history, people used horses as a means of transport and it made more sense for them to travel on the left side because that meant that their right hand, the hand they used their sword with, would be on the side facing an opponent travelling towards them. People started travelling on the right in the late 1700s, especially in France and the US, when their wagons became bigger and had to be pulled by teams of horses. The driver would sit on the last horse on the left side so that his right hand could hold the whip he used to keep the horses moving. Since the driver sat on the left, he kept to the right side of the road, so that he could avoid colliding with the wheels of vehicles coming from the opposite side. As time passed and wars were fought, defeated countries tended to adopt the driving customs of the winning nation; for example, Napoleon’s victories spread right-side driving through much of Europe. The US chose the right side after it gained its independence from England and decided to go against the English practice.

• You can take your driving test and get your driving licence when you are 17 years old. Due to the well- organised public transport system, not so many teenagers drive cars before finishing school. • Roundabouts are very common in the UK, and traffic travels in a clockwise direction. • Teenagers can get their driver’s license at 16 and many do so almost immediately, mostly because most areas outside major cities are not well connected by public transport. • There are significantly fewer traffic circles than in the UK, and vehicles travel around them in an anticlockwise direction.DRIVING FACTS In the UK In the USA
