Please remember that in the USA, driving is done on the right-hand side of the road. This is of course, illogical, both from a health and a social viewpoint. It is a simple fact that the 50-odd countries that drive on the left have a lower accident per mile/vehicle than those that drive on the right. And, of course, if your girlfriend/wife happens to be right handed, it is much better that she sits on your left to give some comfort in the course of a long and arduous journey, such as to and from the Accy ASDA.

Is it any wonder, then, that American or European pavements have to be policed in the way they are? The simple solution to all this nonsense about jaywalking is to make traffic drive on the correct side of the road - the left - and then we can all cross the road in safety and without harressment from cops who have nowt else to do.
