Wow, I told that joke when I was 15 or so. 
On topic: A study at the TU in Delft has shown that the UK way of driving, being driving on the left hand side and giving the right of way to the right, or driving on the right and giving the left the right of way, are the most efficient methods of keeping traffic flowing. The EU mainland method of right hand driving and right of way to the right actually hinders the traffic flow more. This study has been repeated and tested with simulations and field testing in the UK, Holland, Sweden and Thailand.
I don't know if the study is available online somewhere, I have it in a Dutch science magazine and I don't have a scanner.
