The ferries from Whidbey Island load in one direction and sail in the same direction on one crossing and sail facing the other way on the return. In the movie, Libby rams the car in front of her off the boat and it falls off the back of the boat but the boat would have been sailing in the direction the cars are facing so this could never happen.
