Heheheh. I learned to drive in Fort Wayne, Indiana. About 5 -10 fatalities a year when folks took the green without looking both ways (crossing US 30, trucks don't stop -- especially wee morning hours).

I also motocycle, and assume I am invisible even when I am in a car. The effort to maintain attention beats being in a wreck. City drivers (Boston, NY, Chicago, Detroit, etc.) are the best. In California they can even be friendly -- although I tend to follow the "no eye contact" paradigm.

But Battle Creek, lordy. No rhyme or reason. Pokey, pop oput of nowhere as if they own the road, really an "exciting" place to drive.

I have relatives there. It's one of the worst towns I've ever been to for driving. The traffic was absolutely miserable. Those one-direction-at-a-time traffic lights were maddening. Lots of road rage incidents there? I'd bet.
