In Boston all traffic laws are strictly advisory.

And don't get me started on the "California lane change."

In Memphis we've got our share of bad drivers, but the real menace here are the roadways. Main thoroughfares that suddenly go from 4 lanes to two very narrow ones (with ditches on either side) and then back again with no warning, or 6 lane major roadways squeezed into the space that should only allow for 4 lanes.

When we moved here we were told "Learn Poplar Avenue because everything you'll want to get to is somewhere close to Poplar Avenue. Then spend the rest of your life in Memphis learning how to avoid Poplar Avenue."

In Miami all road signs and posted speed signs are merely suggested ideas of what to do that are seldom followed. Besides no one reads English there anyway.
