Yep, lots of countries drive on the left, and history explains how that came about, BEFORE cars, in Europe, NOT the US. Sweden I think is the only country that changed - there is a movie, showing this and many "changeover points" around the world, like in South Africa.
Australia has benefitted, not just lost out, over the years with new release cars coming here first as they were made in a right hand drive country.
As most people are right handed, perhaps a right hand drive car just naturally feels right and the controls.
Australia always got "shafted" though by arrogant companies like Mercedes Benz that would not properly convert for our market - despite their profits and markets they sold into.
Whereas little Australia's car exporting, made sure we properly converted: eg indicator stalks on the correct side.
