Most people are right handed therefore you want the driver to have his right hand at the side of the window for shit like the drive through, parking ticket machines and so on.
That means the driver should sit on the right of the vehicle which means you should drive on the left hand side of the road for passing(overtaking).
The only advantage of being on the other(wrong) side is that poorly co-ordinated people might find it easier to work a stick shift with their right hand but since no one has them in the US then that's not a good reason.
Just like with the whole m/d/y fuck up the US has chosen poorly.
BTW it's about even across the world.
For example you have the UK, Japan, India on the left and the rest of the Europe and the US on the right.Comment

I thought the whole driving on the wrong side of the road had more to do with medieval times and the ability to draw and strike with your sword.Comment

Just like they go "speak properly in the Queen's English" they want all the Queens in the opposite lane so they can smash into oncoming traffic, killing themselves instantly.

Here we had a dumbass American who rode her bike straight into yellow bars that can be seen for miles and sued the owner of the reservoir where the bike and hiking trails are and won 8 years later a settlement for 2.9 million dollars. It was clearly her fault and came out in the press as such, and still she won. There's now talk that the trail will be closed to mountain bikers and it's a great trail and location and people are more pissed than I can describe in words. she was riding 30 mph not looking where she was going.Comment

The exception to this standard is (naturally) in South Florida, where drivers do not drive on the left or right hand side of the road, they choose to take their half of the lane out of the middle, when not creating new drive-thru ramps in buildings that previously had featured no such thing. Seriously, a state law had to be recently enacted requiring motorists to give bicyclists at least a three foot margin while passing, because drivers here are too fucking moronic to come to this common sense conclusion on their own.

Hey Manbone, you don't think them shorts are bright enough on their own?
I have no idea why this question popped into my head. I was running on the bike path one evening, and this chic that looked suspiciously like Sesh rode past me. I knew it wasn't Sesh, because she was on the right side of the bike path.Comment
