Are left or right turns easier?

When you turn right, your left side is controlling things, and your left side is a little slower, a little stiffer, and it just doesn’t “feel” as comfortable. You waste energy fighting the uncertainty in your non-dominant side. That’s why it’s “easier” to turn one way or the other…
