The view has you on the wrong side of the street and as you cross Farm lane you go right between two on-coming cars. Reminds me of the that scene in "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" where they are driving the wrong way on the interstate. Obviously the westbound view is taken from a reward facing camera as the vehicle traveled eastbound, but it's still disconcerting to view it this way. Kevin M.
