How can you tell which side of the road it's on? And you can't tell whether we're looking at it from the front or the back, so we don't know whether the driver side is left or right.
And it appears to be parked, not driving.

Given that it has a face, we might assume that it's facing towards us. Generally the steering-wheel side of the car is the one that's intended to be in the middle of the road. Since the steering wheel is on the left of the car, that means that the car would probably be driving on the right.

"... it has a face"? That's an interesting interpretation. I see headlights or taillights, nothing to indicate whether we're looking at the front or the back.
And yes, the location of the driver's seat determines which side the car would be expected to drive on, but that's no guarantee that that's where it is.

How's this for logic?
I noticed round tyres!
That spelling of tyres is British.
Here we drive on the left therefore we are looking at the back - where the boot is, (elephants & VW Beetles have their boots at the front).
I wear mine at the bottom of my legs.
Sorry but I'm on strong pain medication after losing the end of my little finger!
Little finger sounds much more grown up than "pinkie" in my opinion.

... and finally, I'll note that the Rhinoceros Party in Canada promised, if elected, to honour our British heritage by going back to driving on the left side of the road. The change was to be phased in gradually, starting with trucks and buses.

Recipe for disaster. When touring with my college glee club back in the days when the world was enormously more peaceful, we took a bus from Pakistan to Afghanistan via the Khyber Pass. The very narrow road twisted through the mountains without (as I remember) guard rails of any sort. The border was somewhere along that road. In Pakistan they drive on the left; in Afghanistan on the right. The driver, we were told, had never been outside Pakistan before, so he had trouble staying on the right. On the narrow, twisty, unguarded road with unknown opposing traffic coming blindly round the next twist.
Obviously, we survived.
replyObviously, we survived.

Yes, although I don't remember anything about it. Was the mother really pushy? Made her child tow the line? Kept limiting him/her?
