We sit on the left and drive on the right here, and it’s the opposite in Britain. The flow of traffic and traffic laws are designed to yield to the centre of the road. Also, the posts in a car that hold up the roof would be at a dangerous angle if you were sitting in the centre. If you are on a collision course with another vehicle that’s behind those posts, you will have them in the blind spot created by that post all the way to impact. Offsetting the driver to the centre of the road means greater visibility to the centre, which as mentioned is generally where one is yielding to.
