Are you assuming a single point of introduction, during which a mistake was 
made? I would assume there were many points of introduction and contact, but 
one country, or possibly several, regularized to left footside while most 
regularized to right footside.

Also, I would have to disagree with Lin. I don't think it is only the US and 
it's possessions that drive consistently on the right. Europe drives on the 
right. According to Wikipedia 65% of the world drives on the right. A better 
generalization would be to relate former British colonial status to left 
driving, although Japan doesn't fit that model.
