Passengers slip to one side of the seat due to the inertia of their bodies, which resists the change in direction of motion caused by the unbalanced force applied by the engine.

Passengers slip to one side of the seat during a sharp turn due to inertia. As the vehicle turns, their bodies tend to maintain their original straight-line motion. The sideways force exerted by the turn isn’t immediately matched by their inertia, causing them to slide sideways.
