Sorry, not entirely true. We Brits drive on the left, and most of us write
email addresses from the left (e.g. armltd.co.uk). It's really quite
consistent... Unfortunately, there seem to quite a lot of people around, who
for some odd reason use left for some things and right for others. These
include many Europeans and Americans, who drive on the right and write email
addresses from the left, and the British JANET (Joint Academic NETwork, I
believe) designers who write email addresses from the right and (hopefully
:-) drive on the left.

Note for the humour-impaired: :-) :-) :-)
