    Fighting talk, Good Sir, or rather quite the contrary! Since the British had been riding horses and driving carts on the left for centuries before modern day America existed, I would suggest that it was the USA that was out of step. I don't know which side of the trail the Native Americans rode, I can't comment on times before the invasion!

    There is actually a reason for riding on the left. Since most people in the northern hemisphere are right handed, by riding on the left, approaching riders would pass sword arm to sword arm and thus better able to defend themselves. Just tradition, you say but isn't our attraction to the kilt "Just tradition"?

    Since I have leather seats the only time I use the towel trick is when I am wearing a lightweight kilt. They seem move about under me easier, never a problem with a heavyweight wool kilt. I keep a bath towel in my truck just in case.
