[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2352958, member: 26737"] My mother has been to Brazil a couple of times on mission trips, and she said that the drivers down there consider the traffic signals and signs to be, at best, bad advice. I picked up her and a friend of hers at the airport after their last mission trip, and the friend couldn't believe that I was driving a vehicle with a manual transmission--she'd gotten used to the drivers all grinding the gears to fit. When I was in technical training in the late '90s, one of my fellow students was a USAF sysadmin who'd spent a lot of time in Europe. He said it was quite common for a two-lane road in northern Italy to have both lanes going in the same direction--and if you saw the traffic in front of you separate, you'd better follow the car in front of you, because it meant that someone was coming right up the middle of the road going the other way...
