 I believe it was the French revolution that caused the practice to change.
People who wanted to show they were revolutionaries when driving their
carriages passed on the right.  The guillotine was a powerful incentive to
copy this!  I suppose it just became adopted, but Sweden chose not to change
(too cold for a revolution, I suppose).
