They do not....your confused with Great Brittain, Australia, India and South Africa

They did, ... but in Medieval Times only (as all Europeans had to because if two horses with armed knights had to come past each other on a narrow lane, only the left side was good as on that side were the arms. If they met on the right side the two arms would collide, therefore the natural side to ride or later drive was the left side. Until the French decided to change that for military reasons in order to confuse the British whose intrusion they feared. Powerful as the French were they forced the rest of the continent to do the same.

The result today is that the whole world drives on the wrong side except Great Brittain, Australia, India, Thailand, Japan, South Africa and a few other braves. Vive la France ;(
