The last time I was in       California, a drive down the main street in Taft made this quite obvious.       ALL the side streets crossing the main drag had priority, so you had to       play stop-go all the way down the main street or get pulled over. No       lights, just worn white paint on the tarmac.                     --       martin@ | Martin Gregorie       gregorie. | Essex, UK       org |              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
