The author of this book said that the Pope and Napoleon were responsible. Some years before the reign of Bonaparte, the pope came to visit Paris. Up to then there had been no rule about the movement of traffic. The authorities, however, decreed that the Parisians should ride or drive on the right-hand side of the street, leaving the left-hand side clear for the movement of the papal carriage. Thus a custom was born and, when Bonaparte came along he made it the law of the land. Moreover, as he conquered country after country, the right-hand rule was put in force in those lands until it became the general things throughout continental Europe. The British, however, hating Napoleon, reversed the custom out of sheer perversity. Now I had two conflicting theories and I told them to Nat Gubbins and he said they were both wrong. He said that Mr. Forester was correct in one detail - the custom really dated back to horseback riding. It came into being because men on horseback had a practice of running each other through with swords and since the right hand was usually the sword hand, Englishmen got into the habit of riding on the left-hand side of the road, the better to slash and thrust.
