I sometimes have to stop and think about left and right. It's not instinctive to me. Fortunately, I don't carry a bike around with me
But you'd see blocked and unblocked routes then pick the unblocked. These people picked the blocked route.
Left and right is actually not very relevant it's just easy way through or difficult easy through to be an absolute knob about things.
My sister used to have a difficulty with left and right. She thought with them being switched. Not great when she directs you left then says, the other left! Seriously! She was a dance instructor so they have to teach the opposite way around as people copy literally as seen.
It's like telling someone they've got a mark on the face and pointing to it on yours. Do you point to the mirror location on your face or the exact location on your face? It's on left cheek to you point to your right cheek or left cheek? In my case I have too consciously point to the mirror cheek or people will get the wrong cheek. That way makes sense to me but I'm not in the majority with that.
My dentist uses the phrase ‘other left’ or ‘other right’ when asking you to move your tongue. It’s understandable given the confusion caused when you can both be looking at mirrors.
It never fails to confuse me when yoga teachers say things like "put your weight on your right foot" then proceed to demonstrate it on their left. I suppose they're pretending to be a mirror image but it doesn't really work for me. I'm more of a visual learner and usually do what they do, not what they say if it's different. My current teacher is great because she doesn't teach that way, she demonstrates exactly what she's describing.

I didn’t know my right from left on my driving test, went wrong, apologised as soon as I realised then was so nervous I stalled on a big roundabout in work time, Shocked when he said I’d passed, he said mistakes like that don’t matter, it’s how you handle them.

Yes my Yoga man is always getting left & right, mixed and it's exactly as you say it's because he trying to be a mirror image. He just says senior moment, but most of us are used to it now, it's only when there is a new person there's a problem.

If the examiner tells you to go left but you go right he will not fail you because it is not illegal, dangerous or against the Highway Code.
It depends on the size of the roundabout, I suppose. At least traffic is going reasonably slow. Better than stalling on a motorway with no hard shoulder - or even with one.
I'm kind of not feeling myself today. I nearly got a migraine this morning. I'm on edge because of it.
I know why. I eat breakfast at 5:45am then two packs of s&v walkers crisps. Then at 1pm sandwiches.
I ran out of crisps and decided to cut back. So I ate two nature valley cereal bars. At 10am. By 11am I was shaking because of low blood sugar. I felt the migraine coming on so ate a quarter of my sandwiches rather quickly to try and stave it off.
So basically cereal bars are too high in simple sugars that they trigger the low blood sugar. Which for me can trigger migraines. However when I don't have anything I eat some of my cheese sandwich which leaves less for lunch but I'm OK with that despite getting low in the afternoon
That leads me to wonder what I can eat as an easy and very quick snack. Preferably healthy or not completely unhealthy. I've got a savoury taste over a sweet taste. I don't like apples, oranges or fruit for snacks. Crisps are going up in price. Cereal bars are out. Chocolate bars out too as I'll see a sugar low afterwards. It's a pain how I go from OK to empty in minutes and empty to migraineous in minutes later. A sharp cutoff and I bet others know how bad migraines can be.
Wouldn't it be so much better if we didn't need to eat just eat when we fancy something. No hunger or malnutrition just freedom from food. That way we could splash out occasionally to eat fancy food when out and about, for fun or leisure not survival.
