Reply	prabin says: This can be best explained when you think of 'learning to ride bicylce'. A learner always rides from the left for which she might tilt the cycle a bit, prefers a left-turn, falls less dangerously if falls towards the left. Remember the cyclist in the 'death well'. Always left.So I think its not matter of preference. Something to do with the centre of gravity of body.  (no votes) Tags: unanswered, domestic science, human body.
