Here’s a short and simple explanation of why Americans drive on the right side of the road:
Americans drive on the right side because that’s what was in usual in the days of horse and carriage. Teamsters wanted to make sure they could have better control of the horse and see any potential threat coming towards them. This tradition of keeping to the right carried over when cars were introduced. Most countries that were former British colonies, like the United States, adopted driving on the right.
