Around 70% of the world’s countries drive on the right, with a little over 66% of the world’s people population driving on the right.
In the past, the vast majority of countries travelled on the left-side of the road. Countries that now drive on the right usually use left-hand drive vehicles. Vehicles on roundabouts travel in a counter clockwise direction and left-turning vehicles must give-way to oncoming traffic.
The map displayed below shows countries that use left-hand drive vehicles and the list below details countries that drive on the right and may be of use if you are visiting a country and intend on driving.
