    Jag var 13 år den soliga morgonen den 3 september 1967, jag hoppade upp på min cykel och begav mig som vanligt till skolan, hade helt glömt bort högertrafiken och blev stoppad av en polis, som vänligt påpekade att jag cyklade på fel sida :)

    It was a sensible decision for Sweden to switch driving sides in 1967. Waiting longer would've just made things more difficult and expensive as the number of vehicles increased and more roads were built. Continuing to drive on the left, while in the midst of all of the rest of Europe which was already on the right, would have been foolish.

    Way too expensive to change over in The UK. Sweden was sparsely populated back then with few cars (by comparison to UK), plus they already had LHD cars so much easier. To change every sign and road marking, re set all the traffic lights and even physically chance some road junctions would be impossible with 35 million cars registered on UK roads. Even 20 years after Sweden changed there were some horrendous road junctions to contend with as they were originally designed for driving on the left.

    Yes. Gibraltar is a British overseas territory, but it changed to driving on the right in 1929 because it has a land border with Spain - even the Governor's car is left hand drive. Other than that, everything else looks British. However, Hong Kong and Macau stll drive on the left, and to enter mainland China you drive through a special road that loops round. Swedish trains still drive on the left, though they switch to the right in Malmö before they go over the bridge into Denmark.

    It started changing over in the 1890s, some parts changed to driving on the right, while others kept driving on the left until 1926. Apparently, rural areas drove on the right, conservative cities drove on the left, and radical ones drove on the right.

    Sure, but in the late 18th century, more countries started driving on the right, as a result of the French Revolution, with many countries falling under French influence changing sides - the Benelux countries, most of Spain, as well as Denmark. Russia also changed about the same time, and when Finland passed from Sweden to Russia, it also changed over. Portugal, Italy and most of the Austro-Hungarian Empire still drove on the left.

      Not everyone drove left-hand drive cars, perhaps about 10% had the steering wheel on the correct side, plus practically all buses. My family lived there in the 1960s and we certainly had RHD cars. Driving on the left in an RHD car is so much better and not least safer.

    True of Suriname, not of Indonesia - only a very small part was British. The Batavian Republic changed in 1795 because it was a puppet state of France. The Dutch Caribbean drives on the right, though. Sweden had a referendum on changing sides in 1955, but people voted 'no', although there was quite a high abstention.
