Re: Travel Part 3: Destination Unknown
Only works when they are not closing the exits and detouring people. (last time I drove they closed the airport exit, sent us on a detour then the detour was closed so another detour. Leaving they closed the tunnel and sent us way the fyck out toward Malden/Medford before accessing the Hwy- everything else was shut off. It was 2:30 in the morning. I wasn't happy.Originally posted by Kepler View Post

140 kph is not that fast. You'd barely keep up with traffic on the New Jersey Turnpike.Originally posted by dxmnkd316 View Post
Just drove 600 miles on I95 from MD to Hilton Head. MD drivers believe that the left lane is for traveling speed limit +5. Combine that with trucks in the right lane made for some interesting sections.
Most of the time thru traffic was doing 80. Made it in 9:45 with an hour for lunch, gas(petrol), and rest stops.
Northern Virginia was, obviously, still asleep at 8AM when we left.CCT '77 & '78

Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

Re: Travel Part 3: Destination Unknown
Bahrain: Roads are wide and pristine and there's almost never an issue with weather/visibility. Every stoplight is a drag race and if you have a car that is slow (I had a 4-cylinder Corolla with maybe 120 HP) you hated being in the front as everyone would ride your *** to within an inch. Other than that it was relatively fine.
Philippines especially Manila: Triple lane changes, almost no usage of signals, right/left-hand turns from 2-3 lanes away, they think driving slowly makes it ok to not look before changing lanes or entering traffic, bus drivers think they're Mario effing Andretti, Jeepneys, trikes, scooters all think they're faster than you when they're not, they don't care how slow they're going they will not give way and even will try to block you even if they know they're going slower because they do not like to be 2nd, 3-lane intersections become 5 lanes on the regular, pedestrians be ****ed..., I can't enough how much I hate it. Funny thing is they will get uppity if you honk at them for driving like an idiot. They just think that if they want to go they can go and you need to accept it. Funny thing is as bad as it is in Manila they're probably not even Top 10 globally for the worst.
Mumbai: Manila x5
Bangkok: Used to be nearly as bad as Manila but the addition of a subway and a skytrain system has helped immensely from when I first visited in 1996. People still drive too fast in precarious places for my liking and they have their moments of changing lanes without looking, but it's improved.
Vietnam: I think I read a stat somewhere that more people die on the roads in Vietnam per year than die from disease and it's the leading cause of death for those under the age of 30.
Nigeria: New cars there have speed inhibitors because they're just fu**ing insane.
Rome: I swear every car in Rome has dents/scratches and going the wrong way down a one-way was so very common.Comment

Re: Travel Part 3: Destination Unknown
No misadventure for this gal going to the airport- YAY!!!
On the way home looking to the other side- 93S was a parking lot at least a mile before 128 all the way thru to the city and 128 was a parking lot in both directions. mile back up for the exit on the north side. What a difference 15 minutes makes

Milan is the same way, save the extremely expensive cars. They were pristine.Originally posted by Slap Shot View Post
Tel Aviv: Again, every car is beat up. Watch out for scooters, they do NOT stop at stop signs or red lights and come out of nowhere. Doesn't matter how many times you look both ways. One will appear the moment you go into the intersection.the state of hockey is goodComment

In Italy, Rome in particular, people barrel down curved sidestreets 1.001 of their car's width.Originally posted by Slap Shot View Post
I don't think I've ever seen a car in Rome with side mirrors intact.
This is Naples. A car would take this at 60 mph easily:
