Kultureller Hintergrund
Driving is on the left, so 'on the left' is a vital safety term. Driving is on the right, so 'on the left' usually refers to the passenger side or oncoming traffic. The left is often associated with the 'sinister' (Latin for left), but this is archaic. In presentations, 'on the left' is used to point to data on a slide.
