Nowadays, around 65% of the world’ s population drives on the right of the road, while the rest is used to driving on the left. Though no one knows the exact reasons, it seems likely that people in ancient times travelled on the left of the road. Roman coins show pictures of horsemen passing on each other’ s right. And righthand people generally got on a horse from the animal’ s left. Obviously, it’ s safer to do this at the left side of the road, and it makes sense (行得通 )for the horse to be ridden on the left. A change happened in the late 1700s. When Napoleon(拿破仑 )conquered(攻占 ) nations, he forced them to travel on the right side of the road, which spread lefthand driving throughout Europe. However, Britain still stuck with the righthand driving rule and countries which were part of the British Empire were made to follow. This is why India, Australia and the former British colonies(前英国殖民地 ) in Africa continue to drive on the left. One exception(例外 ，除外 )is Egypt, as that country was defeated(打败 ) by Napoleon before being part of the British Empire. Some countries changed sides until modern times. Sweden only moved to driving on the right in 1967 and Iceland changed the following year. Ghana changed sides in 1974. On September 7, 2020, Samoa became the third country ever to change from lefttorighthand driving for the reason that it made it easier to import (进口 ) cheap cars from righthand driving Japan, Australia and New Zealand. So if you want to travel to another country or go on business, make sure you know whether it is leftor righthand driving to avoid unnecessary troubles. 41. Which picture shows the correct driving in Britain? d r i ve r d r i ve r d r i ve r d r i v e r A B C D 42. When did Iceland moved to driving on the right? In ________. D. the late 1700s. 43.
