Normal way of driving in the US (and most parts of Europe) is on the right, where as in the UK it is left (same as many parts of the world where the British ruled- like India, S-Africa).

In the Arabic world (arabic script) people write (and read) from right to left, were as in most other parts of the world (inculding English) people read and write from left to right.
