I agree

Only 2 defining forces died for you-Jesus Christ & the American Soldier. 1 died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Heavenly Father, hold our troops in Your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in this our time of need. These things I humbly ask in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, Amen.

Answer is left because on a bus the only side door is on the passenger side meaning we are looking at the drivers side. That puts the driver on the left side of the bus picture.

But for all we know the bus driver is backing up.

Back to the bus question.....yes, Hboy is correct based on the criteria shown.
And..90% of PRESCHOOLERS would have answered that way......
...but it has more to do with to fact that they ( preschoolers) have not been pre-conditioned to read left to right.

Once that conditioning is in place, one has the tendancy to say it's heading to the right mostly because it just feels like that.
Pre-conditioning.

It's a age/reading level biased question

I just made that up

I've been so busy my whole life trying to earn a living..
....I forgot to make any money !

A true optimist will dynamite his brakes and back up along a highway to pick up an abandoned shoe.......
...... believing it is in good shape
...... certain it is the correct size
...... fully expecting to find it's mate a bit further down the road

Never mess-up more in a morning, than you can fix in an afternoon.

Hboy, YOU ARE CORRECT!!

90% of the Pre-Schoolers did say the bus was traveling LEFT because there is NO DOOR SHOWN to get on the bus - because of conditioning - although visual - and preschoolers do read left to right...!! (good theory though Lars) and there are no passengers depicted in the picture nor a driver.

The door would be shown if the bus was travelling right and we all naturally assume that travel is forward and not backward.

So, Now I know who is safe to follow....

Hboy and Lars...lol!!
