Years ago in Roman times, old logic dictated if people passed each other on the road they should be in the best possible position to use their sword to protect themselves. The shield was carried with the left hand and the body with the right. The soldiers marched on the left, so they could protect their body with their shield and they were able to fight with their right hand. As most people are right-handed, they therefore keep to their left. Nothing much changed until 1773 when an increase of horse traffic forced the UK Government to introduce the General Highways Act which contained a keep left law. This became a recommendation.
