Very cool article. Made me think.

I’d also heard that horse and buggy drove on the right as the drivers were right handed and the whip is better on the outside as opposed to into oncoming traffic.

Do you think there might be more lefties in Arabic nations or others where script is written and read right to left? I’ve noticed that a high percentage of guitar players in Tuareg and Mali rock bands are lefties. I always figured Jimi Hendrix as a role model might be responsible (though he learned to play a righty guitar upside down 😳)
