Why do we tend to fall outwards when a car takes a steep turn?

Solution

Due to inertia of direction
When a motor car makes a sharp turn we tend to move towards one direction because of inertia. The inertia of our body tends to resist the movement of the motor car and this leads us getting thrown to one side.
