Kenya follows the British system of driving on the left side of the road.
In Singapore, cars and other vehicles drive on the left of the road, as we do in Britain. This was due to its British past colonial history.

As his armies poured across Europe they took driving on the right with them.
British drove on the left because they would hold their lance under their right arm. Americans drove on the right because they had guns.
