Kinda like buttered toast aye, always falls buttered side down...  If you
were rallying in a Right-hand drive car, the car would undoubtedly perform
some physics defying mid-air rotation to completely cave the passenger side.
Seemed to hold true for the accident in question - what was that thing?  A
telephone pole?   Time for James Bond style passenger ejection seats!

It may not always be the navigators fault, but rest assured the driver
will ALWAYS crash on the navigators side!!!
