Why the English Drive on the Left...

This has been one of the sticking points here that annoy Mike to no end. Why can't they just conform with the rest of the world? Well, a few days ago, Mike got his answer. The reason why the English drive on the left has to do with JOUSTING! When you jousted an opponent, you were always on the left of him. Also, it is considered more "gentlemanly" to pass someone on the left. Mike says he still doesn't buy it. They jousted all over Europe and everywhere else they drive on the right! LOL!
