Have you seen anyone doing any car hooning in real life?

I'm guessing they don't have a much higher rate of car hooning than other countries, probably just that their cops don't arrest based upon youtube videos like we do here in the states. that alone would = more hooning videos online...

but i have no idea.. never been there...

seems cool, though they seeem to be big on hitler over there... ?!?

the hilter thing was just unusual, so i had to take a picture.

Basically, driving here is near terrifying. Some people think that cars stay between the lanes, others think they are to center on the line. Also i do not think there is an Arabic word for "Stop" or "Yield"

The more I read things like this (and watch Ice road truckers in india) the more bay area driving makes sense smiling smiley

There is a word for stop. It looks like 3 dudes in canoe when written in Arabic haha. I know driving in Qatar and Dubai was pretty damn bad but I still think Guatemala City takes the cake for worst driving.

Driving through Nairobi in rush hour is really scarry. Rio de Janeiro at night is also scatchy. No one stops at intersections for fear of being kidnapped. It's foot to the floor all the time.
