The USA does not have a monopoly on being the wrong way around.....as far more folks drive on the opposite side of the road than in the UK.
True, but not by as much as some may think. It's about 65%/35% in favour of driving on the right, with about 78 territories having the "drive on the left" rule. A lot of these are quite small but the list includes 3 of the world's top ten countries by population, namely Japan, Indonesia and India. A good pub quiz question is "which two countries on the American continental mainland drive on the left?" A lot of people might guess Guyana, a former British territory, but the other is its neighbour Suriname.
