      Being a paranoid motorcyclist, I now look both ways twice all the time.

          just for my piece of mind, just how do you travel the "wrong way" down a two way road? is it a Japanse thing?

          You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

            This may help: In Japan people travel on the left side of the road.

                    Reminds me of a classic "Top Tip" in the Viz. It started with:

                    Save time when crossing a one-way street by only looking one way. - John Smith, Crawley

                    On the next page, they had:

                    Always look both ways when crossing a one-way street, in case a blue furniture van is reversing. - John Smith, Crawley Hospital

                    It is my understanding that any code controlling robotics about 75% is error handling code.

                        but seriously though, I will not put my life into the hands of a complete stranger hoping (s)he knows the one-way street concept. Look at it as "defensive programming" ;P
