When John was here last week we were almost convinced there was a car being
operated by remote control. We absolutely could not see any driver in the
front seat. I have no idea how that person was able to see over the
steering wheel to drive (let alone maintain a drivers license). Now I'm
short, 5'3", so I'm not bashing short people. But you can at least see my
head and know I'm actually able to see to drive my car. Ever see those
booster seats for kids in a restaurant? This woman needed one of those, or
maybe a couple of telephone books, I swear! LOL

I learned to drive on the beltway in Washington DC when I was sixteen.
My
parents used to send my out to Dulles Airport to practice my driving.

Then at 21 I moved to Alaska for three years. It was all I could to to
ride
in a car on eight and ten lane highways in the back seat with my eyes
closed
for several weeks.

You're saying that Alaska is more scary to drive in than the Beltway??

You sure your not speaking of Dallas? ;-) :-) Liz

5. One hand on wheel, one hand on nonfat double decaf cappuccino,
cradling cell phone, brick on accelerator, gun in lap: LOS ANGELES

8. One hand on 12 oz. Double shot latte, one knee on wheel, cradling
cell phone, foot on brake, mind on radio game, banging head on steering
wheel while stuck in traffic: SEATTLE

These two always kill me. It seems like they should switch beverages!

Its fake everything in LA so nonfat decaf. I understand Seattle runs on
caffeine.

Yeah, you have a point. Seattle is the birthplace of Starbuck's, after
all. And there was that scene in LA Story where everyone was ordering
a "half-caf with lemon", or whatever it was, at a cafe.
(LA Story: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102250/ )

But LA seems like such a hyper city, that caffeine just seems to fit in
with the culture. And Seattle seems so groovy and back-to-natureish,
that I figured *they'd* be the ones drinking the decaf.

I said it wrong. It was scary when I got back to the lower 48 states.
Especially since I came directly back to large cities.

Ah, I see. That makes a lot more sense. I've never been to Alaska,
but I have driven on the Beltway, and I know it has to be more scary
than most places.

I'm soon going to be faced with a similar situaiton. I learned to
drive in Boston, but I've lived in the San Francisco area for 15 years.
Not that the drivers here are so polite, but they do follow traffic
laws far better than Bostonians do. However, I will soon be visiting
Massachusetts (heads-up, Takayuki!), and I will be driving a rental
car. Eeek! I hope I haven't lost my Boston-driving chops.

Yes, if you don't pretty much follow the rules in San Francisco you end up
walking or dead in very short shrift. And as I remember it is so congested
that walking could be faster.

When my folks lived in Moscow, the driving was bad. Basically, it was
find a random space and drive in it. I drove in Moscow - it wasn't a
problem. HOWEVER, when my folks went to live in Washington DC, I have to
confess that I didn't have the guts to drive. The Washington Beltway has
got to be the most scary place on the planet! And that's coming from
someone who drove around the M25 every day for 4 years on her comute to
work. (The M25 is one of Europes busiest motorways)

American Drivers have serious balls to drive on the Washington Beltway.
