Abstract

It may seem strange to a continental european that british island drive left. Nevertheless, it has been historically demonstrated that the initial norm was to drive left, which convey many physiological advantages. Some people defends the idea that the transition to a right norm is a history hazard linked to the will of the french 1792 revolutionary who want break with the ways and customs of the old system. In this paper, one defends an other conjecture which seems more likely : a cascade of important technical progress in the road and transportation system linked as much as to peoples than merchandises, may have as a consequence to carry the main part of the countries of the planet in a locked-in situation, that is to say a technology which, without any reason to subsist to day, has diffused and conquer
