A change was carried out all over continental Europe by Napoleon.The reason it changed under Napoleon was because he was left handed his armies had to march on the right so he could keep his sword arm between him and any opponent. From then on, any part colonised by the French was right hand. After the American Revolutionary War(1775-1783), the US became independent and decided to make traffic drive on the right in order to cast off all remaining links with its British colonial past. Once America became the center of the car industry, if you wanted a good reliable vehicle, you bought American right-hand-drive cars. From then on many countries changed out of necessity. Today, the EU would like Britain to fall into line with the rest of Europe, but this is no longer possible. It would cost billions of pounds to change everything round. The last European country to convert to driving on the right was Sweden in 1967. While everyone was getting used to the new system, they paid more attention and took more care, resulting in a reduction of the number of road accidents. 1. Why did people travel on the left before the late 18th century?A. They were required to do so.B. They were mostly left-handed.C. It was easier to cross the street.D. They could feel safer from attacks.2. Whats was Napoleons att
