Well, a bit frivolous, but we were having a new years conversation on  
which side of the road various folks drive.  Here is the answer we  
found .. quite interesting.

Sweden and a few other countries have actually switched from left to  
right.  What a mess that must have been, but according to the  
article, the changeover was fairly orderly, all things considered.

The article includes "natural" sides for walking, horse riding,  
jousting, wagons and so on.  Also stories about Napoleon changing  
most of Europe to the right.
