And probably doable with modern technology. I have actually seen something similar... in Rome, I thought at first all the gesticulating was road rage, like it is here... but watching the taxi driver, I soon learned that it was a language; they were negotiating right of way and traffic flow- that's how the dense traffic moves so well while completely ignoring all known traffic laws. It works so well, that I don't recall seeing any crumpled fenders, despite the hair-raising pace! I wouldn't suggest a foreigner, with a misplaced trust in signs and lane markers try it though.Joel Monkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631333436948102576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20795009.post-23066505972529178392009-03-11T14:24:00.000-04:002009-03-11T14:24:00.000-04:00"I won't say it's the only way, but it at least ha..."I won't say it's the only way, but it at least has the virtue of being unique: I use signals."<BR/><BR/>This has to be the most hilarious post about traffic that I've ever read! :D<BR/><BR/>I also use turn signals, and I have an idea about futuristic cars that could have something equivalent to facial expressions so that more complex exchanges could happen on the freeway. <BR/><BR/>For example, "Yes, I need to get into this lane (signal, signal), but I'm just as happy to get in it behind you, but if that is your preference, you will need to speed up as I do need to move over right now."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20795009.post-28918170017414198512009-03-11T13:43:00.000-04:002009-03-11T13:43:00.000-04:00A number of years ago a friend of mine from Blufft...A number of years ago a friend of mine from Bluffton unknowingly drove around I-465 twice before she realized she had been too frazzled to see the I-70 west exit she had intended to take!Charlie Talberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00267737011472607186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20795009.post-60053545917780730942009-03-11T13:20:00.000-04:002009-03-11T13:20:00.000-04:00A favorite bumper sticker:"VISUALIZE ...
