Left or right side of the road?

Need help, have searched and can't find answer - can you guys help?

Very simple, really: which side of the road you drive on in:
Germany
Austria
Hungary
Czech Rep.

Thanks so much - will make a difference as to whether we rent car or train to-and-from.

They all drive on the right (i.e. left hand drive cars).
BTW, that's the wrong ride of the road (LOL from a Brit!!).

Here's a list of all countries and which side of the road they drive on.

All mainland European countries are on the right, same as the US.

Did you know that CzechRepublic (Chekoslovakia)prior to WW2 drove on the left, just like UK.
Hitler changed it over and it stayed.

In Ireland they decided to change over too.
Monday Lorries changed
Tuesday Cars and vans
Wednesday motorbikes.

Hey Muck
Did you read about that woman who drove from Bridgend all the way to the end of the M4 in Pont Abraham down the wrong way of the motorway at very high speed? She was jailed a couple of weeks ago. She was twice over the limit.
And who says we drive on the left in the UK???

Hi AR, Yes I heard about her.
Not sure prison is the best place for her though.
Should send her up to London to help Red Ken clear the roads..lol
