One of the first things you will notice about Britain is that they drive on the left,and the steering wheel ( 方向盘) is on the right. This causes a strange feeling,but driving on the left is not as unusual as you might think; about a quarter of the countries in the world drive on the left. Most of them are former British colonies(殖民地) like Australia,South Africa,and Ireland,but Thailand,Japan and Indonesia also do so. This driving habit is strange to US,but there is a perfectly good reason for it: up until the late eighteenth century,everybody ?avelled on the left-hand side of the road because it was the best way for mostly right-handed people to protect themselves in violent societies. So when strangers passed on the road,they walked on the left to make sure that their sword (剑) arm was between them.

After the French Revolution in 1789,howfever,the French government changed sides as part of a great social reorganisation. Later,Napoleon,the ruler of France,spread the change to the rest of Continental Europe. He did this because he was left-handed himself,and he wanted his armies to march on the right so that he could keep his left arm between himself and any enemy. From then on,any part of the world which became part of the British Empire marched on the left,and any part controlled by the French marched on the right.

After the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783) , the US became independent and decided to make traffic drive on the right in order to cut its ties with Britain. Once America be.came the centre of the car industry,if you wanted a good car,you bought an American-made right-hand drive vehicle. From then on many countries changed out of necessity.

Today,the EU would like Britain to be the same as the rest of Europe,but this is no longer possible. It would cost billions of pounds to change everything round. The last European country to convert to driving on the right was Sweden in 1967,but there were far fewer cars there,and the population was much smaller.
