I wonder how many of them are sitting there humming THAT REM song ;-D

Well... along with the noodles and hot water some locals are selling to the drivers, I hope someone sets up a porta-potty. Damn! And I complain about the L.I.E. !

Couldn't. Wouldn't.  I'd sell my car for 3 pounds of noodles and a gallon of water and walk to Tibet where I would become an internet savvy goat herding Sherpa.

Here where I live (São Paulo) this is such a serious problem - with no answer in sight.

Luckily, I travel around the city mainly by subway. I hate driving. I do it only when I absolutely have to - otherwise I take the bus or even a cab.

People, at least here, get so violent and ill-tempered as soon as they get behind the wheels - people have no patience at all, some are quite aggresive and the mistakes they use to do are so many that it's never enough to drive correctly: one has to pay a whole lot of attention to other people in order to make up for their negligence and avoid being hit or suffering a serious accident.

You must go your way and protect yourself from others who may hit you while your doing everything just right.

I don't know, I feel there's something uncivilized about driving today.

I'm in Baltimore.

One of the five worst in the USA according to so many polls.

I feel their pain.

i bet there is a caravan or a horsebox at the front of it,there would be if it was on the A30 down here...
