* Research in 1969 by J J Leeming showed that countries that drove on the left had a lower accident rate than countries that drove on the right. Countries that have switched to driving on the right (for example Sweden) have seen their long term accident rates increase by more than any increase in traffic volumes. It has been suggested, but not proven, that this is partly because most people are "right eyed", and are therefore better able to judge the position of oncoming traffic when they see it on their right.

I'm right eyed, but I don't think you could break my drive on the right habbits.... I'd have no idea how to drive in a British Rotary, as NJ has nothing but circles....

I heard that in Bermuda, tourists often have problems when biking the island, as they are unaware of the driving habits of the locals with cars. Accident waiting to happen!
