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!
Most people are right handed. ‘Clockwise’ is going right when in a circle. Therefore most people will favor going clockwise.
If im not mistaken, going counterclockwise means going toward your left.
