    At least in the USA, it’s probably due to having been alive long enough for sun damage to cause a freckle on the side of your body nearest the car window while driving.

      I’m in the UK. We drive on the opposite side, freckle in the exact spot on my left arm, nothing on my right.

      I’ve had mine since before I started driving ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      I noticed in my late teens I had a lot of freckles on the left side of my body and very few on the right, and I didn’t start driving until I was 22. I did spend 2 years in high school with a much darker tan on my right arm from hanging my arm out the window of a boyfriend’s car with no AC, but still have more left-arm freckles.
