Why are steering wheels on the right side in foreign cars?

[RafaelMarie]

Only the United Kingdom, its former colonies, and a few other countries have steering wheels designed on the right side of the car. It is said that this was due to Napoleon's requirement. Not all foreign cars have steering wheels on the right side; in many countries, like in China, the steering wheel is on the left. It is said that this originated from the habit of carriage drivers sitting on the left side and driving on the right. Here is additional information: 1. Countries that practice left-hand traffic: The United Kingdom, Ireland, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, India, Indonesia, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, etc. Therefore, their cars have steering wheels on the right side. 2.
