Just curious as to if there is any reason behind it.

On the Continent of Europe, they drive cars the same as in the USA. It is in Great Britain and Ireland that cars are right hand drive and on the left hand side of the road.
That's just how it is - and in Japan, too.

All europe has the steering wheel and pedals on the left side like usa, exept for Great britan. There are different reasons for this.
The right side steering weel and driving on the left comes from a horse-riding-sword-in-the-right-hand-thing,
the left side (as in the main parts of the world exapt for britan and its former collonies, not sweden though) has mainly spread because Napoleon created a law in continental europe saying that military vehicles and stuff have to drive on the right side of the street (steering wheel on the left!).

Just in Great Britain, and Sweden. It goes back to the old days, way back when knights would meet on a road they passed with their weapons ready to use most were right handed so the passed on the left facing each other.

by using fact americanschronic on the right fringe of the line, and the different nationschronic on the left. putting the guidance wheel closer to the middle of the line enables you to better see each and everything around you on a similar time as youchronic.

actually, they don't. they are on the same side as in the states. it is in the UK, australia and south africa (?) that they are on the other side.
