Flew into Mexico city for some business meetings, then scheduled to drive to Puebla for a meeting with Volkswagen. Booked return flight, made the genius decision to rent a car and drive. I've made some bad decisions in my life, that might have been one of the dumbest. I've driven in NY, Boston, LA, all the worst places in the US, all of them combined are still less than half as crazy as Mexico City.

People in the NASCAR South should take to it like a duck to water.

The old farmers around here just drive straight across. As they should. Engineers do not take into account vehicle length, trailers, etc. I was told they are being considered more because people cannot negotiate 4 way stops.

They got rid of the one at Beltline and Coit about '69 or '70 but you can still see a trace of where it used to be.
The one I used to deal with the most was on 59 at the North side of Henderson going to or from Nacogdoches and Kilgore. .

I think all you need to know to get a license there is how to start the engine and put it in drive.

If people could navigate a 4way stop properly roundabouts wouldn’t be needed
