      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.

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

                  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
