Why do you drive on the right in the United Kingdom?
The UK doesn't, it drives on the left as does about a third of the World (most being ex British Colonies with the major exception of Japan). You are probably getting confused with right hand drive vehicles which the UK uses, placing the driver in the middle of the road and giving the best view for overtaking. Similarly people who drive on the right have left hand drive vehicles, this was part of the justification for Sweden changing as most of their vehicles were left hand drive as well as their neighbours drove on the right with left hand drive vehicles. A number of countries have switched from left to right but the Japanese after looking at the time (4 years of preparation) cost and chaos caused in Sweden when it changed decided not to try it! The custom of keeping to the left originated from the use of the horse (mounting easier for right hand person on the left) and the wearing of swords (keeps the scabbard from clashing as you pass and the sword away from your enemy).
