[MR] What side of the road

The following link should help you figure this one out. It's the most
exhaustive discussion on the subject I've seen to date. If nothing else it
proves the adage that "there are no simple answers" :-)

Click and Clack were wondering about why th English drive on the left side
of the road, and posited this was a hangover from when knights road around.
They wanted to be on the left so they could get the sword arm into action.
Sounds spcious to me, but it got me to wondreing.

WHY do the english drive on the left? What side of the road did
cart/foot/horse traffic travel in other places and times?
