A Slightly Odd Feeling

I have just been messing about with Google Street View, looking at the house where one of my ancestors lived.

I was working my way along the street, when I noticed a van in front of the property. I moved nearer, and it went further along the road. I did the same again, and again and appeared to be following it.

Along the road were traffic lights, showing green, and as I got nearer, they changed to red!!

At this point, it dawned on me (bit slow on the uptake) that the Google car with the cameras on its roof had been travelling along the road behind this van!

It was a very odd sensation - a bit like being in one of those 3D helmets.

And don't you feel wicked when you go the wrong way along a one way street?
