This Video Explains Why Driving On The Right Side Of The Road Is A Dumb Idea

Have you ever wondered why most of the world drives on the right side of the road? This video explains the reasoning, and it also tells us what happened when Sweden changed from left to right in one day!

But when sitting on the left in a car you use your right hand to shift and pull the handbrake, so we got that going for us which is nice.

Oh hey look, Sweden got recognized, let’s just enjoy the moment and not care at all about the content of the video, because that’s what us Swedes do.

Joking aside, this VIDEO seems dumb. 90% of todays population in Sweden is NOT right handed, in fact, I am left handed. And even then, by driving on the right side of the road you drive a left-hand drive car, which means that the hand you used for the sword is now used for a car (or girl) guy’s sword, the shifter. Ba dum tss

You know 90% is not all of the population there is another 10% that you are aperantly a part of…

Im left eye dominant, so your argument is invalid.

This definitely makes sense, and my right eye is definitely better than my left for farther distances, but I still prefer driving on the right.

The right side is the best because I can shift gears with my right hand XD

At this point in europe and the Americas driving on the left can be a hassle because everyone else drives on the right

Meh. Took me half a minute to adapt

right hand drive countries are simply more sophisticated drivers……example right hand drive: Japan, example left hand drive: Russia. Ever seen a Japan crash compilation? I guess not…

How big is the difference between the better and the worse eye? Second to none. And your one eye isn’t facing to the side of the road while your other one faces the oncoming traffic. Both eyes look to the same point. That is what you call focus and what makes us able to look three-dimensional. This guy lacks of basic logical understanding…

The fact that he says:” crash rates are back to normal”. Means there are no diffrence. It can’t be worse if the crash rates are the same, if that is what we use as a indicator.
