Drive me crazy

Yes, another driving post. But I am not the driver.

I am amazed at the judgement shown by people driving in New York City. Lanes are ignored, double-parking is frequent, indicators are a barely used accessory, yet I haven't seen an accident. I know they happen - I have seen the scratched, dented panels and fenders. Yet traffic flows, people zip through spaces that a Sydney driver wouldn't even consider, drivers seem to co-exist in spaces between lanes between spaces between cars.

Sitting in the car with Murray I feel completely comfortable (whereas in Sydney I wouldn't). Sitting in the back of a cab, I am rigid with tension and nerves.

Interesting but irrelevant observations!
