Knodel1958, both. LHD was the more common one already but many were still RHD.

David, I am presuming that his question didn't mean which side of the ROAD..but which side was the steering wheel..as in Right Hand DRIVE..or Left hand DRIVE?

It's fascinating that accidents went down because people were unsure of themselves and being more careful. Then, they reverted to being overconfident about their driving skills again. I doubt this change go so smoothly in the US. You'd have conspiracy theories and whole convoys of "patriots" refusing to go along.

165 countries drive on the right and 75 on the left. Most of the LHD countries are of British empire influence. Why 2 systems? About 90% of people are right handed and before wagons most travelled by horse and carried swords so that when drawn in one action it was pointing towards that rider.

The majority of Swedish cars at that time were LHD, and Sweden's traffic was driving on the left-hand side of the road. so the switch to driving on the right was a no-brainer,

Knodel1958, because it says: "reduced accidents as overtaking had a better view" suggests that driving side was LHD

Player #29684811, If one reads the explanation properly, it specifically states, "3 September 1967, the day Sweden switched from driving on the left-hand side of the road to the right-hand side." In my opinion, it is implied that at the time, Sweden's traffic was on the left-hand side of the road.
