Default Which wheel is which????

this may be a dumb question but I have had a few beers and have myself confused..When the DIC says the right front tire ,is that as your right front as sitting in the car or is it,as you are looking at the car..

Right front is the passenger side tire on the front. Its always as you are facing the front of the car.
