I feel like the car should be facing left

Edit: apparently some people feel strongly that I am incorrect. Fuck me I guess

Edit: am I missing something about the fundamental message of the post or am I just being down voted without replies just because?

    i think it’s more that in latin derived language at least left to right indicates progress, so the direction of the car can either indicate progress by facing from left to right, or comply with the lexically similar reading by facing left… but i think given that left vs right isn’t definitively progress, direction of travel being left to right is probably apt

    (i didn’t down vote you)
