It's getting so convoluted at this point just knowing clockwise/anticlockwise is infinitely easier.
If a steering wheel has you this perplexed then I beg you to never ever drive a vehicle.
If you're gripping the bottom of the wheel you move your hands left to make the car turn right. Which is kind of the whole problem here. Rotation around a centre doesn't happen right or left. That's the whole reason why the words "clockwise" and "anticlockwise" exist. Translation = right, left, up, down, forward, back. Rotation = clockwise, anticlockwise.
If I ask you to turn the car left and you give me this speech I would eject from the car.
Yes, and I would be devastated to see you go.
At least until the next bend in the road where the sign indicating a left turn ahead is more than you can handle.
Yes. I should imagine I would be quite happy that you were gone by then.
how's your day goin, man?
Yeah, same old. You?
