Driving on the left side or the right side of a road are equally valid. It's still better if everyone coordinates to pick one.

People shouldn't be coerced to give up their culture (in fact, doing that is quite evil) but cultural homogenisation seems like a good thing in principle. We want people to have an easy time communicating with each other.

Apparently it may surprise you that driving on both the left or right side of the road depends on which country of the EU you’re in.

Another great example of the perverse idea that “same == better”

What EU country drives on the left?
