Crazy drivers found

Unread post by hwybear »

I just completed a 2 day road trip to Iowa. Travelled there for a friend to buy a used car. It was a long drive 9hrs each way. The driving in Illinois (south end of Chicago) makes what I have seen of GTR drivers look like angels. Due to all the ramps, the speed is 45mph (80km ?) anyway, was getting smoked out there, wow! vehicles criss crossing each other, going down paved shoulder, using ramps as passing lanes! Some vehicles appeared to have tow hooks as the car behind was following so close! Be careful to anyone travelling over there!

Apparently Mississippi is the worst place to drive, according to recent studies :shock: . Most deaths per capita.

Apparently, Ontario is 2-nd best place to drive in NA, only after NWT.

To put North American driving in perspective, you need to see how they drive in India: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2BAnyISH9w
