<div id="ygrps-yiv-1485475640"><blockquote><span title="ireply">&gt;A Scandinavian guy once told me that Norway used to drive on the<br/>
&gt;UK side but switched quite literaly one Sunday<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>Quite a few countries drove on the left in the past, including the <br/>
Austro-Hungarian Empire, Portugal and parts of Canada. In the case of <br/>
Portugal, this legacy can still be seen in Macau which stayed on the left <br/>
after the parent country switched.<br/>

established during colonial times.<br/>
