In England and Japan, there is a driver's seat on the right. Why is that?

The reason is as follows.
In England, where the carriage was narrow, the driver sat on the right because if the coachman was located on the left side of the carriage, the person sitting on the right could be hit by a whip wielded by the coachman, and the tradition gradually hardened and led to cars.
This is known as the reason for adopting the right handle, including Australia and India, which were British colonies, and Japan, which referred to the British transportation system during modernization.
