Other fun facts: Whoever's bumper is in front has the right of way. Handy when changing lanes. Never gesture while driving, to other drivers or someone else in your car. It could be considered obscene and it could land you in jail. Do not drum on your steering wheel or dashboard in time to your music. See gesturing. If it's foggy get off the road somewhere safe. In the US emergency flashers mean warning, slow down, stay clear, or I'm stopped on the shoulder. In Dubai they mean I'm driving really fast and you can follow me at the same speed.
In NJ here for a few years neighboring PA let illegals register a vehicle. That’s how we can spot them, PA license plates that never seem to leave.
But now our governor gives them licenses too so doesn’t matter anymore.
As a humorous aside, a few years ago a female assistant manager at my company asked if I would support the "day without a Mexican day" that was so trendy at the time. I said, "You mean the day that everyone has car insurance day?". She was not amused.
Used to have a job that required regular travel to Puerto Rico. Crazy, no-rules driving was the rule rather than the exception. Never saw a car there that didn’t have at least 1 dent.
Dear Facebook…
A couple of years ago a Somali woman driving in Mankato, MN had the rear door of her car pop open and a small child, fortunately strapped into a car seat was ejected into the street. The woman kept driving and did not notice. The event was captured on a dash cam. The woman had failed to attach the car seat to the rear seat. Fortunately the child was unhurt. The woman had only a learners permit and was not supposed to be driving alone. Sadly she was given a slap on the wrist and was not arrested for child endangerment or had her child placed in protective custody.
I have often observed Somali women driving with small children not in car seats or even wearing seatbelts.
Most of the immigrant Latinos I know drive aggressively, so they fit in my neck of the woods. East Asian woman on the other hand…
I was constantly amazed at what people did around me while driving my motor home. I filmed both side mirrors using old cell phones.
Advice for the future. Don’t swerve into the curb that way the third worlder’s car will be as effed up as yours. 🤔
I call them first-generation drivers.
