the same as the Americans do, but keep the right mitt steering wheel. This way the driver is closest to the kerbing, which cause a lot of traffic accidents. Would you agree that this may free lives on Australian roads?
But you're right in one point - until 1960's Lancia, Italian vehicle maker, produced their cars in RHD version, the reason was that it's more crucial to know where the side of the road is while driving a sports car within the Alps (mountains). Similarly, the truck in mountain areas were RHD.
See, I be born in Slovakia, where I studious to drive on the right. But then I moved to Britain and got a RHD sports car - and spent much of the time driving in ... Europe on the right.
So now I can pretty much drive any vehicle on ony side of the road. But I have to say that I feel most comfortable when driving in Britain on the left side next to steering wheel on the right.
Driving an RHD car surrounded by Europe was fun, basically, it's OK on motorways/highways but try to overtake a truck on a twisting road - it's something between suicidal and impossible if you don't own a passanger on the front seat with moral driving experience.
P.S. A small note to my imperial friends - it's actually km/h not kph, as the leap for kilometer is km, as in kilo-meter, or, one could use kmph:-), no offence, really :-) I have to learn the imperial units.
no, because it have been that way for so long that at hand would be more accidents trying to adjust
The rationale behind the direction of traffic is that it is much safer to drive near your body as close as possible to oncoming traffic, as it encourages you to move the car away from said traffic. The curb doesn't hold any kinetic energy compared to a 3500 lb. vehicle (a) 45 mph (72 kph for all of you metric folk).
I have always contemplated this, see the pro-of a right appendage side steering wheel are that the drivers are further from oncoming traffic, the con- it's much more difficult to see what is on the oncoming side of the car.

Well if you would drive on the right side of the road would the steering joystick be on the other side then?
