What causes a toy car to turn when you push it across a flat surface?


I was just playing with a toy car of mine. The wheels don’t turn on the car, but whenever I pushed it across the kitchen counter, it also turned to the left or the right. Why doesn’t it ever go straight?

One of the wheels is not turning as fast as its counterpart on the same axle.
