   I talked to my daughters drivers ed teacher. She said the the 
   inside lane in the U.S. is the lane closest to on-coming traffic.
   The outside is the lane fartherest from on-coming traffic and
   middle is between the two. I also wanted to thank everyone on 
   their help with my sons project on England. I would not recomend 
   using spoted dick on a school project. His teacher was a little
   upset and gave him a 50. I talked to her and she said next time to
   find something with a more school aproprete wording. I should have
   know better but I didn't think they would be so upset. And yes
   this is public school. Oh well we live and learn. He did say to 
   tell all of you thank you.
