Can we come up with a better term than, "driving on the left side of the road"?

[KostasKouvalis]

This to me implies that vehicles only drive in the left lane, and the right lane is unused. But also, left and right switches depending on direction of travel.

I personally just say, "the British way".

Fun fact, ALL traffic, including foot traffic flowed the British way, until Napoleon changed it

Lol it is already called left hand traffic and doesn't seem to imply a dormant right side. Your left hand stays your left hand whether you face north or south. ㅤ

The LoL seems an idiot way to start a strong answer.

The reason for drawing over to the Left (in the British way) was to have an unencumbered right arm to draw a sword or pistol to plug a horseman coming from the opposite direction.

Maybe US folk should call it the 2nd Amendment side or the Freedom side?

Thanks for a mho :)

Why? What's wrong with calling it whatever it is?

FYI, I drive on the right side of the road, unless I'm in the UK or Australia.
