Same as a RH side driveway, it was taught to pull over to the left and wait for other vehicles to pass before turning right into a private driveway (unless of course there is a turn lane)
I remember it had something to do with impeding through traffic flow back then..
Don't know how you could acheive this in really narrow roads mind.
No one does this anymore.
In the country (80-100kmh) there is an unwritten rule where if you are turning right into a side street with vehicles following you and no one is approaching you from the front, it is courteous to move over to the right side of the road and turn into the side road.
By doing so following vehicles do NOT try and overtake you as you turn right.
