Hello,

The same reason the passanger seat is in the right. The driver must have the best view when he is trying to pass by the car in front of his. When you have a car in front , and you want to pass by, you must make sure you will not meet any cars comming from the other side. You can't be sure if you are in the right side, because this means you have to move the entire car to the other side of the middle line.This means you will expose the driver and the passenger at the same time.

Asker's Rating:
• Good info. The UK bit got to the root of my issue.

If this is true, then do they make side cars on the left for motorcycles in Britain?

Yes. that is right. Here is a photo. If you go to a website...lets say ebay.co.uk....and check for motorcycles with sidecars, you will see that all have the sidecars on the left.
And that is the reason. I assure you. I dont know if you got my answer right...as I'm a little tired.
