How cool is that?
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

This is probably a watch I would actively go out and buy, if it wasn't for the price-tag. Simply looks awesome.

They are managing very well without a single crash.
As for elsewhere in the world... Need I say more?

Re: Backroom Video Thread
in, what? 5 minutes of footage?
You want to base your code of conduct on that system in the long run? Also, even in those few minutes people gave up trying to cross the streets and turned around...
Again, only in Africa...
Now you are just playing Devils Advocate in the most erroneous of ways.

What mighty Monty said.
A lot depends on whether people actually drive slow enough and whether they pay enough attention to their surroundings, at least concerning the likelihood of accidents. Although there may be a point in less regulation = fewer accidents if one looks at this map:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ro..._-_WHO2004.svg
Then again a lot of the countries with problems in that sector have worse problems in other areas. For further discussion I suggest a topic on the subject.

Looks like Indonesia with less motorbikes and fewer traffic lights.
Ho Chi Minh looks like Indo. It's crazy when you're not used to it and are weaving in and out of hordes of cars, people, animals and bikes. But in the intersections they are used to it, are generally reasonably cautious and ride the horn to let people know to move. It's good fun.

Re: Backroom Video Thread
Thanks for posting this IA. Fascinating. My dad lives in Canada not too far from Kingston (Canada) and Ft Drum (US). I remember about 15 years ago he was telling me about some Canadians talking about Ft Drum being used as a base to launch an attack against Canada. I thought it was absurd. I guess it wasn't that absurd after all.

Thanks Greg.
Yes from our perspective it looks ludicrous. However the point is made in the film the the British relinquished their hegemony to the Americans without a struggle. OK the second world war did play a part in that, as we both understood it was in both our interests to smooth the transition.
However, I think it had more to do with the public on both sides of the Atlantic seeing each other as partners and friends. As it should be.
