Driving on the left goes back to the times when coaches 
(carriages) were still in use. This was to avoid that drivers 
would accidentally hit each other with their whips when a coach 
would come from the opposite direction. No joke. As regards cars, 
driving on the left is highly unintuitive for most people as the 
majority of drivers are right-handed. There is no ergonomic or 
technical reason why cars should drive on the left. In most parts 
of the world driving on the right was adopted from early on as it 
is more intuitive (for most people).
