There have been a fair number of jokes about this in Finland. One version is that the heavy traffic was allowed one year of transitional period to get used to it.
The whole country prepared for weeks before that with new traffic rules, signs and a massive campaign. They even ran a competition for a song. This one won: https://youtu.be/6ODZtwkBYPs - Keep right Svensson (Svensson is a generic last name in Sweden)

IIRC There was not one death due to the change. Actually, there were less deaths than usual because everyone was being extra careful.
