In England, as in the rest of the UK and Ireland, we drive on the left-hand side of the road. This is because the majority of our population has always been right-handed. Many years ago, when we still used horse-and-cart, it was decreed that we would drive on the left so that if we were attacked, we could hold the reigns with our left hand, and defend ourselves with the right (our strong hand).
