The United States Virgin Islands (USVI) is the only place under United States jurisdiction where the rule of the road is to drive on the left. This was inherited from what was then-current Danish practice at the time of annexation, to limit losses of livestock.[citation needed] However, virtually all passenger vehicles are left hand drive due to imports of US vehicles.
