karkarinus Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 No matter what, I'm sure American drivers cannot possibly be as bad as Spanish ones, at least in the south. And they cannot be as bad as the Portugese, who in turn are vastly out-crapped by the Italians in places such as Naples. Every single day I am forced to make use of one of my dad's favourite expressions: "Do you want all the bloody road, or just the bit I'm on?!?" I do have more specific anecdotes, but I wouldn't know where to start with so many tales of mindless road-going duhness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Povuholo Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 There's this new idea here in Holland. Instead of showing 'the finger', they want (young) drivers to show their entire hand which is supposed to mean 'sorry!'. I don't think it's going to work. :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guss Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Ya, I don't think that showing the hand will work for some drivers. Some drivers are :wacko: most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole idea failed miserably ;D! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guss Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Stress balls? That must be funny to see people throw them at other cars. I hate it when you have to use stuff like the stress balls and etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninja_lord666 Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Well the most recent road tale I can tell almost resulted in my colision. Here it is, we're driving down a one way road (going the correct direction) in the left lane, as we're just about to go through the intersection the car in the right lane makes a left turn and at the same moment the guy in our lane makes a left turn. They almost colided but didn't, soon after that another car coming the wrong way on the one way nearly hitting us too. Soon after that we got off the one way hoping the twoway is safer. Then there's also the time my whole family went to texas (from oregon) but the stupid freaking van broke down >:( guess how many times? 1, no 2, no 3, no 5, bingo! :P I had a tale similar to that. I was going to the store on a two lane boulevard when all of a sudden I see this guy driving on the wrong side! it was even a two lane road! Also people in my city don't seem to know what a "four way stop" is. Even if I have the right of way, they still go. That caused a few near collisions.
