: The simplest explanation is that the GPS coordinates corresponded to the left side of the road, and given that the road seems remote or secluded, it was probably easier to just pull over to the left rather than make a legal U-turn.

Why the car is on the left side? Did Randall move to UK? Over water? Still so many questions.--Dgbrt (talk) 21:59, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

It is a valid line of inquiry, but there are many more gaping, unexplained things in xkcd to worry about. I'd guess the car was easier to draw that way, or something. --Quicksilver (talk) 04:57, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
