In the fine newsgroup "rec.pets.cats.anecdotes", "badwilson"
artfully composed this message within on 09 Jun 2004: You have never seen crazy drivers or crazy traffic until you've driven in Thailand. Many of us in the DC area call the Capitol Beltway the US Autobonn. It even has curves that make people not used to driving it daily of a racetrack. It's nuts because the curves in the track are usually where the bumper-to-bumper breaks up and you're driving full speed (and faster to make up time). It even has a fork going in popular directions each way and there are always those idiots who wait until the last second to merge over to go right. -- Cheryl |

I rode home from the airport in a near panic and with my eyes closed. That is what all our friends who visit us do when we pick them up at the Bangkok airport! You have never seen crazy drivers or crazy traffic until you've driven in Thailand. Tell 'em to pretend they're in an Indiana Jones movie. Do you brake for elephants?

I understand some places have made using cell phones while driving illegal - which I would fully support here. Driving down the rode it seems sometimes like every other driver is talking on the phone and paying only token attention to driving. It was made illegal here in the UK last December, it's still quite common though to see people driving and using the phone. -- Adrian (Owned by Snoopy, Milo & Bagheera) A house is not a home, without a cat. |
