The driving rule has been since the Samurai era in Japan.

How does that work when you drive into another country?

nothing unique
until 20th century left side traffic was the norm almost everywhere

>>71026964
They have lane changes

>>71027048
ah yes, all the cars that people were driving before the 20th century
>>
>>71026634
Driving on the left is more natural, you use your dominant right side, including your dominant eye, to view what's coming towards you. It just makes sense.
Driving on the right was implemented as an arbitrary decision by Napoleon, before that we all drove on the left side.
tl;dr: we should all drive on the left, it's more natural and fuck the French.

>>71027432
You didn't make an argument to use a counterargument against. You asked a very, very, very stupid question.
>>
>>71027366
never been on shooting range?
some people naturally use their left eye to aim.
that's why left-handed versions for asymmetrical rifles are made.
>>
>>71027714
That doesn't make the eye dominant.
>>
>>71027683
and you didn't give an answer
>>
>>71027746
check any shooting/archery video on jewtube about this subject.
one eye is usually used to look around, second one just to add 3D effect.
>>
>>71027298
no we didn't have lanes (roads) that were dedicated for horses only in Japan before 20th century. People, horses, jinrikishas just went on left "side" of the road. That's all.

also proof of that being the case in Europe?

>>71028149
according to Wikipedia, lane (lane marking) was invented in the 20 century.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lane#History
>>
>>71028449
>For much of human history, roads did not need lane markings because most people walked or rode horses at relatively slow speeds. Another reason for not using lane markings is that they are expensive to maintain.

>When automobiles, trucks, and buses came into widespread use during the first two decades of the 20th century, head-on collisions became more common

who's the retard now?

>>71027366
>everybody knows that we have a dominant hand, foot, etc.
>somehow the idea of a dominant eye is outrageous
Guess what, it's one half of your brain that's dominant, usually the left, which is why most people are right handed, play football with their right foot and have a dominant right eye.

It absolutely does, you dolt. Ophthalmologists literally refer to the eye you use for a telescope as your 'dominant eye'.

>So it's basically useles...
Yes, but you questioned its existence. Do you need help lifting those goalposts?
>>
>>71029464
>There is evidence also for general superiority of the dominant sighting eye: Information from this eye may be processed more rapidly, as seen in reaction time (Minucci & Conners, 1964) and search and recognition studies (Money, 1972, Porac and Coren, 1979 and Sampson and Spong, 1962). Furthermore, dominant eye monocular afterimages of a vertical line remain visible longer (Wade, 1975), perhaps because there is less inhibition from the non-dominant eye. Similarly, when subjects view checkerboard stimuli dichoptically, there is different striate activation when the stimuli are presented to both eyes, each eye, or in an alternating condition (Büchert et al., 2002), again perhaps due to inhibitory interactions across ocular dominance columns. In certain circumstances, such differences allow subjects to know from which eye a stimulus initiates (Blake & Cormack, 1979).

>>71029542
I wasn't changing goalposts just moving on.
There is no need to write "i was wrong" everytime you are wrong.
>>
>>71029627
Correct. This time I wrote it and you writing it again would have been excessive.
>>
>>71029654
What?
>>
>>71029364
Really?

I write with my right hand and my dominant eye is the left one, afaik that's not very common.
>>
>>71029695
Where?
>>
>>71028926
I don't get what you wanna say about tbqh.
Everyone went on left "side" in Japan before road marking was invented.
>>
>>71029766
right leg / left hand / right eye here.
actually my left eye was dominant before i stabbed my left eye and had it covered for few months.
>>
>>71030045
>before i stabbed my left eye
How?
>>
>>71030235
with a dirty stick as a kid.
a little bit more force and i'd be blind in my left eye
>>
>>71030401
but why
>>
>>71030460
i was climbing with sticks like one should with chekans.
failed climb, stabbed my eye one one, that's it.
