Left-hand turns require 'huge' brain power, study shows

Yes it would be interesting to see if there is a correlation with turning right in the UK.

It does make sense because if you're turning right (in the US) then you're mainly concentrating on either looking for traffic or for a clear enough break in the traffic to pull out whereas turning left requires you to cross a lane of oncoming traffic and look for a clear enough break in the lane further away to pull into.

I could be arrogant and make out it's childsplay and any idiot can do it particularly as I earn my living driving but it's easy to get complacent and let your concentration lapse.

Like last month I was turning onto a main trunk road from a country road,pulling up to the junction in a low gear checked right then left and it was clear so kept going only to realise the large passenger mirror (it's an 18 ton truck I was driving) had temporarily masked a car oncoming from the left.

If i'd been complacent and not concentrating I would have pulled out and got a VW Golf in my passenger door at 70 mph almost certainly killing them and probably me too,driving isn't to be taken lightly !!!

So people with big heads can turn left better. This is false, I never see that in Politics and politicians have big heads.
