I've always wondered why everyone can't drive on the same side of the road? That would make automobile production much more efficient. Is there a certain reason England decided against driving on the left side of the road?

America invented the car, not the buggy.

  No. Karl Benz, a German, is regarded as the inventor of the first automobile.

    Thank you for the factual correction. My point still remains, however, that driving wasn't invented here.

They do drive on the left...

  I actually meant the right... with the rest of Europe on the other side, they're the odd ones out.

    We have no direct road links with the rest of Europe. Even the Channel Tunnel has no road: to take a car across you drive onto a train and off it at the other end.

I'd settle for electric sockets/plugs. Even within the European Union.
