That could explain why there are so many crashes in the US, the drivers 
are looking at the road right in front of the hood/bonnet and not in the 
distance where you see XING and PED. I know some writing is written 
right to left and some is left to right and some is top to bottom but 
I've never come across bottom to top! ;-)
