I got this information from an Instagram reel but ig refreshed and I lost the link before I could save it, so I googled the phenomenon and got an article that talks about it instead. The reel said that it happens in a lot of small things we don’t think about like bumper cars, ice skating, most motorsports, mosh pits, etc.
The counterclockwise favoring has even been found in some animals too!
I always assumed this was because we are conditioned to travel on the right side of a path/road in the US, since that’s how we drive. At times when I’m walking more than driving, I meander around the sidewalk, but when I’m driving more, I stick to the right.
