That makes it sound like Britain is the only place with left side traffic. 35% of the world population live in countries where they drive on the left side.
- parthdesai 2mo agoUsing total population is a bad metric considering India itself has about 2 out of 7 billion people.
- Symbiote 2mo agoWhy wouldn't Indian people count?
- riffraff 2mo agoit's arguable the "much of the rest of the world" could refer to number of countries rather than number of people, but I think "much of" applies to both so the author avoided the confusion.
- lstodd 2mo agothey also don't drive on the left, they drive everywhere
- kakacik 2mo ago> Left is right and right is wrong one of cool road signs I saw years ago in Ladakh state on road from Manali to Leh. Funnily enough that 19h minibus trip sometimes went through valleys without any form of road, just used least uneven path. Not so funnily enough we had an obvious technical stop later when driver was banging with huge rock on some part of suspension for an hour, and luckily his caveman engineering worked well enough to get us moving again

- mastax 2mo agoNo it makes it sound like much of the rest of the world drives on the right.
- vrighter 2mo agoIn my country, Malta, we drive on the left too, but I drive a LHD car, so everyone can tell me I'm on the wrong side somehow.
