British run normally, we go to my "abnormally". I have always rode on the left side of one reason: people are mostly right-handed. Right man holding a weapon (sword) in his right hand. Thus, during the "formation of the" rules of the road knights riding horses occupied the position of the left side of the road to where you were free to use the weapon against the enemy moving from the opposite direction and, if necessary, to repel a surprise attack. Right-hand traffic in continental Europe was imposed by Napoleon (at the time of the French Revolution changed everything, even the 12-hour clock trying to replace the 10-hour clock). Right hand adopted as the United States, which was also an act of political opposition to England. The English, however, as the traditionalists are still on his own, established centuries ago, the organization of movement. (But not the only ones - still drive on the left in force in the former British colonies such as Australia, India, South Africa, as well as in Ireland and Japan).
