    Nice observation. I drive on the right, and I must say I prefer going to the left.
    However when I need a weapon, I'll go to the right on the reverse,
    and left/right on the forward depending on the situation (if someone is just
    ahead of me and goes to left, I'll go right). Avalon: always left

    I tend to go to the left for the most part, and I do drive on the right. I only take right on ubermall reverse when I need to absorb, otherwise I just shoot for the other pads.

    I go always go right, forward or reverse. I think its because im right handed more then what side of the road i drive on.

    I always go to the right. I cant drive like the brits. I nearly died at one of those backwards roundabouts.

    The Mall Forward:
    In heavy traffic, or trailing someone closely - I go where traffic is lightest - better chance of avoiding munitions, and picking up a live weapon pad. (if cluster goes left, I fork right, and vice=versa)

    When alone, I go left - as that allows me to strike both the speed and weapons pads with ease. (going right - I usually have to choose one or the other)

    If I know the pilot (shouldn't be admitting this) and I know what way they split - I'll deviate to pick up the fresh pad.

    On reverse pretty much the same - I favor the left side - as it has 1 additional speed pad over the right.

    Obviously situation dictates my final choice.

    I drive on the left (most of the time anyway , am left handed and almost always go left on both forward and reverse Ubermall.

    I'd say from my experiences 60-70% of people go left on forward and thesame %age go right on reverse.

    Forward I take left, reverse I take...right (yes, always the same tail)

    I don't leave the good way for the new one! ()

    I love that wall



    I drive in the centre (of the single track. on my MTB)

    Please, don't use theese secret information during official tournaments



    P.S.: Ubermall is a great problem by me. When an opponent push me on the "wrong" way... I TURN BACK! (yes, I'm not normal. I know...)

    I'll be driving on the left in... 4 months, I'm right handed, and I go left forward and right backward. I think it's because of the way the light streams in through the windows though. I'm like a bug attracted to a zapper.

    Ghehe, yes iLniK and Divided, I have the same messed up reaction when I'm not too far on the 'wrong' side of the track.. It's a bit frustrating so I've started to respond with sideshift jumps, sometimes fast enough to push insulting ships aside and run off

    I go left because speed pad and weapon pad. It's harder to hit both when you go right.

    It's interesting to see the difference in everyone's driving habits, as in who drives mostly off impulse and who actually thinks about it. ;P

    I for one drive mostly off instinct, which most likely is why I tend to get punished sometimes in online races.

    Drive on the right side of the road.
    Take the left split on Ubermall FWD
    Take the right split on Ubermall REV

    I always went that way because it gave a dash plate and a weapon pad Plus it feels smoother than the opposite path for some reason.
