[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate driving. Here, anywhere. So if I can avoid it, I do.[/quote]

Because people in the USA suck at it?  Try driving in Germany or Japan where people actually obey rules and laws.  It's so easy to get around safely when people obey laws.[/quote]

My parents are from suburban Houston. They *hate* driving in DC (where I live) and complain about it all the time because "it's harder". Now add foreign languages, rules, and street signs & you know why Americans aren't the greatest drivers abroad.[/quote]

Think of all the cars with out of state plates around the Mall. I recall seeing a couple in a minivan with Oklahoma plates screaming at each other as they got in the wrong lane near the Lincoln memorial and headed over Memorial Bridge towards Arlington Cemetery.

I've learned what lane I need to be in to exit where I want to go. I don't have that automatic knowledge in other cities, and phone directions can tell you too late or often too early.[/quote]
