This doesn't look like a good way to make friends. It does look like a good way to stay alive.

I see this every day in Miami, from almost everyone. Nothing new or different for me!

Must be leading a VIP convoy...that’s something Iv’e seen the herd of black Chevrolet Suburbans drive like.

Sorry -- it seems to work for me. As an alternative, just check out the StrategyPage home page: here.

For this video, look near the upper left for a link called "VIDEO: How to Drive a Hummer in Iraq".

Wow! Makes sense to me. Most of the drivers knew what to do, or learned quickly. Tell me they didn’t see that big Hummer closing in on them...

Am downloading now. suspect it’ll be like the private security (shooter) vids I’ve seen.

You think they had their left blinker on?

I’d try that here during rush hour, but somehow I don’t think people would have the same respect for my Chrysler Concorde as they would for a Humvee.

[fredhead]

Looks like they do believe in the law of gross tonnage.

Late for chow!

There’s an old game called “Car Wars.” The tagline for the game was...

“The Right of Way Goes to the Biggest Guns”

Looks like it applies here.

I wonder when US soldiers will start receiving traffic violation tickets? If they can be accused of killing civilians (terrorists in civilian clothes), why can’t they be accused of traffic violations?
