The steering of the car to the left abroad-And why India is on the right

l

The true reason why the steering wheel of a car is on the left in foreign countries and on the right in India is unknown to most of the people who drive a car.

 Today almost everyone has their own personal car.  But one thing you have noticed is that the steering wheel of a car in India is on the left side, but in foreign countries it is also on the right side.  This is something we have seen many times in Hollywood movies.  Very few people know the answer.  So let us tell you what the real reason is.

 The beginning of the rule of walking on the road

 In fact, the rule of walking on the road started at different times in all the countries of the world, but you would be surprised to know that in ancient times most of the countries of the world had a tradition of walking on the left side of the road and the tradition of walking on the right side of the road started for the first time.  The first real archaeological evidence of the rules relating to walking on the road comes from the Roman Empire.

 A study of that evidence reveals that the citizens of the empire were walking to the left of the road.  There is no clear evidence as to why the people of the Roman Empire walked on the left side of the road, but there was a tradition of walking on the left side of the road throughout the Middle Ages.

 During the Middle Ages, walking on the road was not always safe for travelers and they also had to avoid bandits and robbers coming from the other side of the road.  Most people, however, are right-handed, so that by walking on the left side of the road, swordsmen could carry swords in their right hand and fight enemies easily.  Apart from that, by walking on the left side of the road, people could easily greet their friends with their right hand.

 

 However, in 1500, Pope Boniface VIII ordered that people coming to Rome from all over the world should follow the rule of walking left on the road during their travels.  Then, by the end of the 19th century, the rules of left-handedness were followed in almost all Western lands.

 Right of way on the road in 12 countries of the world

 India is not the only country where the road is left-handed.  You will be surprised to know that in 15 countries of the world there is a rule of walking on the right side of the road and in 8 countries it is a rule to walk on the left side.  દેશ European countries (Britain, Ireland, Malta and Cyprus) also have left-handed rules.  In China, walking is done on the right, but in the countries dominated by Hong Kong and Macau, walking is the rule on the left.  It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post.

 For this reason in America the steering is on the  left 

 The "Teamsters" originated in the United States in the 19th century.  It was a big wagon pulled by a team of horses.  There was no seat for the drivers on these wagons, so the driver sat on the horse on the left and controlled all the horses with the whip with his right hand.  But because of this the American people had to change the rules of walking on the right side of the road and they started following the rules of walking on the right side of the road.

 The main reason for this change was that it was easier to keep an eye on wagons coming from behind or from the front while walking on the right side of the road on the far left.  The right-of-way rule was first introduced in the US state of Pennsylvania, and was followed throughout the United States and Canada until the end of the 19th century.

 Reasons to follow the rules of walking on the RiGht in India

 As you know India was under British rule for 100 years.  As the British Empire expanded, rules regarding walking on the left side of the road were followed in all British territories.  Because of this, even in India, the rule of walking on the left side of the road is followed.  India remained a part of the British colony, hence the British left-wing rule, which did not change after independence.

 In countries running on the left, the steering of the car is on the right, hence it is called right hand drive.  In countries running on the right, the driving of the car is on the left side, so it is called left hand drive.
