if you are riding in a car that suddenly turns to the right, why do you tend to slide to the left side?

When a car turns to the right, the car and everything inside it, including you, experiences a centripetal force that pulls the car towards the center of the turn. This force acts on you towards the left side of the car, which makes you tend to slide to the left side of the car.
