I had no idea till this moment that’s what the arrow was for…


I didn’t know it was possible to not know this.


Nobody ever told me and I drove my first car for a long time, rarely drove other people’s cars, and did not have the kind of lifestyle that either supported or required rental cars.

I found out around age 35, I think. From reading it online. I’ve told a bunch of people who didn’t know.


I've encountered a few cars where the arrow points to the wrong side, and it's quite subtle if no one tells you.


I'm in my 40s and just learned this right now.


Who taught you? I didn't know until my 20s and have met many adults who didn't know.


You learn something new every day huh!



I haven't ever noticed the arrow in 14 years until this article (I believe).


I'm sure about 99% of people are in the same boat.


The signage is for cars, not boats.


But they are still all at sea
