Lesson 4: Communication
(so on the left-hand side, it is easier for them to use a sword or something when they are on horseback -in the past)
In fact, this practice of England and some other countries also has its historical cause. From the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, when England and a few other countries did not have cars and bicycles, people traveled by horse, or on foot. Knights and wealthy nobles often wear swords with them on the road. Normally, people are right-handed, so the sword is worn on the left side of the body so that when needed, they can immediately draw the sword. When being attacked by the enemy from the front, the left side of the road will be more convenient to block and attack the enemy. Imagine, if a right-handed person attacks from the front, the attack will be aimed at the left side of the attacker, so one has to dodge to the right to avoid the attack. For that reason, people have been walking on the left side of the road in England and some countries for hundreds of years.
