I heard a good story on why we Brits drive on the side we do (which I naturally think is the right side). In olden times when travellers were walking along the paths and roads if you got into a fist fight with someone else or wanted to rob them it was best to walk on the side of the road that allowed you get a good punch in. Since most people are right handed they would walk on the left side so they could easily strike someone coming in the opposite direction with a good right hook. true story
