1. Why do you guys drive on the right side of the road 2. Why do you guys start the school year halfway through the calender year 3. Why do you guys allow the execution of Children?

1. Why do you drive on the left? 2. Because we can. 3. We don't? Unless they deserve the death penalty? There is no "normal" in the world. Just because we do things differently than you doesn't mean we're necessarily different.

Execution of children? That's not allowed. Number 1..Because we're weird. Number 2..Because we like to do stuff over the summer.

1. In the late 1700s, however, teamsters in France and the United States began hauling farm products in big wagons pulled by several pairs of horses. These wagons had no driver's seat; instead the driver sat on the left rear horse, so he could keep his right arm free to lash the team. Since he was sitting on the left, he naturally wanted everybody to pass on the left so he could look down and make sure he kept clear of the oncoming wagon�s wheels. Therefore he kept to the right side of the road. Plus, the majority of the world drive on the right lane. About 75% 2. We like breaks when it's hot outside (summer). I don't know the official reason. 3. We don't legally yet.

1. Because we'd crash the people on the left side if we didn't. 2. There's less going on in that time of the year, and people aren't busy. 3. Because the parents ask them to.

Only English controlled countries drive on the left side of the road. In America, summer is warmer then over there probably. We don't.

That "right side of the road" argument is clearly something only someone from england would say. I for one believe that it goes thus: The right hand and the right rule is an old rule that's based of off religious scripts. Since it was believed and still is by some, that writing and doing things with your left hand was a sign of the devil. Now, the reason why england and Britain in general has the left side rule to this day is because the whole country is the most conservative i've ever seen. When you start school probably doesn't matter to be honest, and killing children by law is just scary.
