England isn't the only country that drives on the left. Japan is another place, and Malta as well as the US Virgin Islands and there are others. Where are the footsides of the laces of these countries? Interestingly, Lyn says that the Swedish footside was on the left. Sweden only switched to right hand driving in 1967. One might speculate about "Island Effect", which results in animals becoming smaller, for instance, so why not lace with the footside on the left? (Doesn't account for Sweden, though.) Of course, Malta was once part of the United Kingdom, which explains why they drive on the left. The US Virgin Islands were originally Danish territory, but I can't find any indication that the Danes drove on the left. Perhaps, the US Virgin Islands are trying to be consistent with the British Virgin Islands that are nearby.
