Most? The UK, Hong Kong, and Australia do. Most drive on the right side of the road. The UK do bc in mideval times knights jousted with their right hands and it was easier to pull out your javelin from the right side and hold it there, thus they rode with their right sides facing their opponents. Australians were colonized by the british and adapted their method of travel. Hong Kong was also colonized by the british.

They don't. I think the UK and Australia are some of the only places that do.
