Corrected entry: In the scene where The Dude is driving while smoking a joint he notices someone following him in a blue VW beetle. He then takes a right turn to see if the beetle continues to follow. The shot where he is looking in the rear view mirror to watch the car turn shows the beetle turning left onto the street The Dude has just turned on instead of right. (01:05:25 - 01:05:55)

Correction: The VW does turn right, it's just the way filming the rearview mirror reverses the image. When a car makes a right-hand turn around a corner, the corner is next to the passenger side and away from the driver (in left-hand driver cars like the VW is). In the shot of the VW in the mirror we see the driver is on the viewer's left and the corner is on the right, away from the driver.
