After doing some reading at this site, it makes sense that the driver, who more often than not would be the only one in the vehicle, would want to get in from the curb instead of walking around the vehicle.
And this is interesting: Australian historian M. G. Lay traced the first regulation of one-side-or-the-other to the Chinese bureaucracy of 1100 B.C. The Book of Rites stated: "The right side of the road is for men, the left side for women and the center for carriages."
What was the original question? Oh yeah, What is cool or interesting about my Benz? I particularly like the horn on my Benz. It resonates with meaning and purpose.
