Mexcio driving will now seem easy

[Tequila]

Having been driving for a month in italy including Rome & Naples, Mexico will now seem like a piece of cake.

Driving Reforma and Insurgentes during rush hour was enough for me. Then get stuck on a via rapida for 10 Km and get dumped into a barrio with no signs at puesto del sol. I think navegator will get a few laughs out of this. This is where I learned the red and black arrow cross street hieroglyphics. Red two way arrow? Yuhhhhh, no turns. Gave a taxi driver two dollars the next day after spending the night in a one-quarter star hotel room (the bed had 79 springs - count em-) The taxiista said momentito went directly to a taco stand and ate breakfast then lead me out.

Anytime a car pulls up alongside me on a sidewalk to beat the right turn red light I consider that to be my limit.

Dehli and Cairo vie for the worst traffic. Rome, Naples, Rio, Soul...child's play.

Rio de Janeiro

Those are permanent Christmas decorations

Or Buenos Aries!

Don't know why they waste paint to stripe the roads.

Stop lights are merely "suggestions".

Drove 3,000+ KM in Chile this winter-- no problem at all. Very enjoyable. Even huge Santiago was "civilized" driving.

Try driving in Manila

The roads in Mexico are in better condition that the roads in California, sad to say.

I have driven in Rome and Naples and Rome was the worst of the two. But the worst place to drive was in Damascus where they have a big traffic circle that has no rules.

Driving in Seoul, Korea was the ultimate test of my driving skills and patience. So glad we have traffic laws in the US because there it was a free for all in Seoul. How are the road conditions in Mexico?

We so agree with you! And we were in a car, not an RV.
