A question for Geoff,
When you are on a mult-lane road, on which side (from your point of 
view) is the on-coming traffic?

In the US, driving on the right, the on-coming traffic is on our left. 
Which is why the left is the "middle." If you were looking at a multi-
lane road from an airplane, it would make sense. The middle would to 
all drivers' left.
