"I was almost killed a number of times over the summer because people didn't feel like stopping at red lights/stop signs."

If you think the driving is bad here, try driving elsewhere in the world. I was in Argentina for two weeks this past August and all I have to say is.........it makes NYC driving look like a DMV controlled driving course.

I like to think of driving in Argentina as Anarchy on the streets. Why, because its an absolute mess. For one, most intersections are not controlled, as in stop lights or stop signs are few and far between. The driving rule is, the car on the right has the right of way and of course no one yields to that. Red lights, I ran more red lights in one day than I've ran in my entire life. Green lights=enter at your own risk.

I will say the stoplights are cool in Argentina, if you have been to a dragstrip you'll quickly find yourself practicing your reaction time at every light. When your at a red light, it flashes yellow for 1 second and then goes green.

Now the best part, should you get stopped by the policia your not going to get a ticket. Why, because it is common practice to bribe the cops, normally they will approach you and ask for a bribe. usually $30-40 pesos (about $12 dollars) and your good to go. Now if that only worked here..........
