Americans drive on the right primarily due to historical influences and standardization. The practice was solidified in the early 20th century when automobiles became popular, as it aligned with the driving conventions of many early vehicles and horse-drawn carriages. Additionally, adopting a uniform system across the country facilitated safer travel and commerce. Internationally, the right-hand driving system gained traction, making it advantageous for the U.S. to follow suit for consistency.
