It just goes to show that rules only work when everyone is abiding by them.  

And if there are no rules - well, we'll get by anyway.

Good situational awareness is a pre-requisite for this sort of driving!

If you cant cope then stay off the road.

Darwin might say that rules of the road are introduced to allow less skilled to drive safely - and keep them from being killed by the rest of the pack.  

Its an interesting thought! ;)

What was missing were a tractor with a baler, a huge logging truck swaying to and fro, and some deer.
You think State Farm is over there?

Reminds me of China about eight years ago.  I was warned not to even rent a bicycle there.  Good thing -- they move like a school of fish when something gets in their way and I just would not be able to react that way.  Now, there are many more cars,  and more normal traffic patterns are developing because of the cars.

All those people moving in and out and around.  Made me a bit sea sick to watch it.   :P  I was surprised that no one hit anyone else in that whole mess.  If that happened here in the US there would be a pile up a mile long.   :o
