So that they don't run into each other. The basic rule of the road is determined by custom.

  • Countries such as the UK, Australia, India, and Japan -these countries mandate driving on the left side (as indicated by forward motion, with the steering wheel usually on the right.
  • Countries in continental Europe, most of South America, most of Asia, and all of North America (except some places in the Caribbean) - drive on the right side of the road, with the steering wheel usually on the left.

In both cases, the drivers are closest to the centerline on two-way streets. This is primarily designed to keep separation between vehicles traveling in opposite directions and to maximize the driver's line of sight, such as at corners. But it does limit a driver's perception of his nearness to the roadside or curb.
