@popey IMHO this is someone who is not competent to drive a motor vehicle.

@lproven @popey that's a very ableist view. As a dyslexic thinking about which is right and which is left is a significant cognitive overload, especially when driving on the wrong side of the road (i.e when I'm abroad).

@ianturton @lproven @popey there are loads of people who drive super well, but have to think very hard when the sat nav says "turn left".

I mean it. That seems like a remarkable and implausible claim to me, and I want to see evidence that it is true before I will entertain it.

@lproven @ianturton @popey it's the difference between "I'm turning that way, so need the indicators on that side" and "look to the left"

Imagine if you didn't have words for left/right. You could drive perfectly safely.
