Did you ever wonder why you sit on the left side of your car. Well after the last strange connection I decided to look into this odd question. I found that yes there is a reason you sit on the left side of your car to drive. It dates back to the birth of major cities. Back before indoor plumbing the very crowded city streets had to find some way to get rid of unwanted waste so usually they just threw it out of the nearest window and on to the street. Sometimes men would just relieve themselves out there window as well. So this is why it’s customary for the man to walk on the woman’s right and because getting hit with dung makes it hard to guide your carriage the driver always sat slightly off to the left. Since carriage designers were the first people to build car bodies’, and in some cases if you look at the rocker panels you’ll see they still sometimes do, the driver was put on the left.
