You know have often thought same.
In NYC so many folk are kilt there shouldn’t be any left.

Maybe that’s why there are so many transplants. Gotta keep up the numbers so television murder and hospital shows can thrive.

I can believe it. When Peg's sister lived nearby I saw her park like that, even in places notoriously difficult to find any place to park, let alone in front of the place she was going to. She was so good at it that once when she, Peg and I went to a ice show I made fun of her when she didn't get a spot at the entrance. It turned out she parked at the exit we took.Believability is always best.
I still can't get over the American programmes where they drive up to the building they want and there is always a parking space outside. Not only is no parking skill involved but they glide into a space large enough for three
Also, the character Spenser in the show Spenser for Hire could park easily in Boston. Peg had some trouble parking in Cambridge for awhile until the guy across the street said he could use his driveway. Robert Parker, the author of the Spenser novels.

All I can say is that you guys are far more observant than me.
I avoid Parallel Parking like the Plague...that is why they all start with "P".
I'm not too observant crossing a busy street on foot either. Many a times I would have been hit by a vehicle in tourist cities as I looked around at all the lovely sights instead of oncoming traffic...thank goodness for those who watched out for me.

An incident involving Peg in Australia after a few days of cars honking at her: On foot, stops at a crossroad intersection, looks to the left only, looks straight ahead, takes one step unto the road, stops, looks to the left, [keeps repeating].
People are giving her strange looks. I'm trying not to laugh (there was no traffic coming in any direction). Things are a bit different in the lands down under.

Rather complex (see link below) but in America we had the opportunity to build new roads wider and thus could have bigger wagons and horses side by side. For right-handed folks sitting on the left they could use the whip easier to control horses on both sides. Thus two wagons approaching each other for people sitting on the left it was safer to judge clearance if they stayed to the right of the road. I'm serious.
In Europe the standard was to ride horses on the left of the road so they could kill peasants on their right with their swords held in their right hands (not completely serious, but I sort of am). Again, see link. It explains how that slowly changed except for (mainly) the UK and colonies.
Why do some countries drive on the left and others on the right?
About 35 per cent of the world's countries drive on the left. This strange quirk perplexes the rest of the world; but there is a perfectly good reason.
