why is the "Google" car driving on the right and the on-coming traffic is on the Left ? have you guys 'switched' over and not told anyone ?

That's because the cars are parked outside their owners houses and the Google car is passing them John, on the wrong side of the road!

Notice some cars are parked facing the same way as Google car.

There's a car parked at a well known dogging spot in Hapton, if anyone's partner was missing early one Sunday morning, last March, and wants to check if they recognise it.

Why would I be relieved? I have been to Flashy's house twice when I collected and returned her PC.

I had to check out a few other houses though
