Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The subsequent Revolutionary wars and Napoleon’s European conquests led to the spread of driving on the right to Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands. Napoleon ordered his armies to use the right-hand side of the road in order to avoid congestion during military manoeuvres.
Detailed explanation-2: -Why do cars in the UK have steering wheels on the right hand side? Because in the UK we drive on the left, the correct side of the road, and it’s more convenient to be sitting as close to the middle of the road as possible when driving (so you can overtake, see etc).
