Eli5 why driving on one side of a car is more practical than driving in the middle of one. Surely, the middle gives you better spacial awareness but things like the Monza SP1 exist and you still sit on one side of the vehicle

Not just in cars. On motorcycles you are trained to ride on the side of the road, not the middle. While this is partially due to less debris on the road where car tires mostly run, the biggest benefit is visibility! You’re better able to see the traffic ahead of just the car directly in front of you. Their brake lights come on before the car directly behind them touches their brakes.
