Answer:

Negative angular velocity

Step-by-step explanation:

The movement/rotation of An object in a clockwise direction ( right to left direction) corresponds to a Negative angular velocity . while the rotation of an object in an anti-clockwise direction ( left to right direction ) possess a positive angular velocity.

Hence the movement of the wheels of the car past you from right to left will possess a Negative angular velocity
