Just wanna say, a car tire moves a different direction based on your perspective.

If you're looking at the driver side of the car, the tires move counterclockwise, whereas if you're looking at the other side, the tires appear to rotate the other way.

Perspective changes a lot of things, it's pretty cool.

edit: Driver side in my case is (when viewed from the back) the left side

I thought you messed up the sides but then realised driver side is not the same on every country

Fair point. Car wheels are a bit of a bad example. Probably shouldn't have included them, but I'll at least argue that means that 50% of wheels are clockwise and 50% are counter, so it negates itself.
