If you don't drive on the right side of the road, you run the high risk of producing casualties and damage, which isn't allowed within the moral system that dictates those laws.
No laws are not based on what the majority moral opinion is, if that was the case we would all be living under biblical Christian law.
What are you talking about! the law could just as easily say drive on the left side of road like in other countries, there is no more moral side of the road.
It was my understanding that people elect representatives who write and pass their laws, maybe it's different where you're from. The moral side of the road is that which the government decides that it is, whether left or right. Which one of the two it is is irrelevant and it's got more to do with historical accidents than with anything else.
Also, missing that comma makes you sound like an idiot.
Transforming a question into an exclamation does that as well.
Not capitalizing the beginning of a new sentence... You get it.
