We are very very nice on your roads not because we fear being killed, but we fear being fined or locked up. I mean, who wants to pay 250 $ for not having "buckled up" - or 460 $ for being too fast? Not me, not me!! That would be an expensive holiday.

Oh, it's not all that bad, I only paid $135 for my unbuckled seat belt offense. And you can get out of one speeding ticket a year by taking an 8 hour defensive driving course. I've slept through several of those.

The thing is we're not concerned about British guests being polite, they are frequently the only group that "imports" manners.

As for our third-world guests, that means Dims from Blue states, too...be nice!

"Not from around here, are ya? You done picked the wrong county to haul ass through!"

Just kiddin. Next time you're over here drive the old Route 66 from Chicago to LA for a good look at Middle America.
