Ever since the early 20th century, cars and road vehicles have become widespread and commonplace in all countries worldwide. With more vehicles on the road each year, it is vital for all road users to follow the rules to keep all safe.
Typically, road users will drive on either the left- or right-hand side of the road. The side of the road is often determined by any given country’s history, which has influenced the direction of the traffic. Most countries next to or those that are former British colonies will usually drive on the left-hand side of the road. All other countries will usually drive on the right-hand side.
The side of the road you drive on has practical applications in organising and ensuring the free-flowing movement of both ongoing and oncoming traffic. In addition to which side of the road, drivers planning to drive overseas might be required to obtain an international driving licence or meet specific criteria.
