[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 4044316, member: 26737"] My mom has been to Brazil a couple of times on mission trips, and she said the rules of the road are “watch out you don’t get killed.“ The signs are only vague suggestions that are apparently written in some language other than Portuguese. When I picked up her and her friend that went with her, they couldn’t believe that I was driving a standard transmission. They both said that the drivers in Brasilia could grind the gears on an automatic transmission… Back in the late ‘90s or early ‘00s, I attended a class with a USAF Master Sergeant, and he had lots of stories to tell about driving in Europe. He said if you were on a mountain road with both lanes of travel going in the same direction and the cars suddenly started moving over to the side, you’d best follow them, because somebody was coming the opposite direction right up the middle of the road. He also said Italian traffic lights weren’t like they are in the US, where the light turns green, then the first car in line goes, then the second car goes, and so on. Instead, if you’re at a red light, you’d better be ready, because EVERYBODY is going as soon as it turns green. [/QUOTE]
