There is only one place in the whole of England where it is legal to drive on the right (barring one-way streets) and that is the passage and court at the Strand entrance to the Savoy Hotel. Before leaving New York I put the question to Mr. C.S Forester. He said the custom was grounded in good sense and dated back to the period when many Londoners travelled to and fro on horseback. A horse, said Mr Forester, is always mounted from the left side. It was a matter of convenience, then, that a man coming out of a shop or house or tavern would have his horse aimed toward the left, otherwise he’d have to walk into the mud and slop of the street to mount, and from this practice came the custom of bearing to the left in traffic. Sensible. Mr. Forester added that my forefathers, the founders of the American nation, reversed the custom after the revolution out of sheer perversity. 39.
