Why do the Americans and Europeans drive on the right? We drive on the left in Australia too. To drive on the left is the natural thing to do. Previously people rode horses on the left to keep their sword hand free to deal with problems coming in the other direction.

Which side of the road does Singapore drive on?
In Singapore, cars and other vehicles drive on the left of the road, as we do in Britain. This was due to its British past colonial history. So the steering wheel will be on the right as in vehicles in Britain. I believe that any vehicles with left -hand drive have to display a notice on the rear warning that they are a left-hand drive vehicle.

Why does UK drive on the left?
In the days of the knights, horsemen would stay to the left so that they could carry their weapons in their right hand and be prepared for battle. The practice continued, since the British, like many cultures, tend to resist change.

As his armies poured across Europe they took driving on the right with them.
