Slander! Slander, I say!

Clearly that is Manitou Springs and NOT Colorado Springs.

A three-way intersection without a traffic signal? And people aren’t running into each other? That would put US traffic engineering employees out of a job. :)
There’s a lot of horn honking, but they’re surprisingly well-behaved drivers/riders. I didn’t see any hand gestures or hear any gunshots, which I think is typical in LA.

vietnam? That's supposed to be india.


Notice the super lack of lanes, lines, turn signals, traffic signals, traffic signs, hand signals, helmets but some how they make it through! Crazy stuff. Almost like lane splitting on I-25 in denver with an accident miles ahead snarling stuff up to a dead stop. Dodging, ducking and weaving from cars trying to block me in.

The first one is India, I think, but the link on Bueller's is Saigon.

Dear god, that was nuts. It was like an ocean of mopeds! Seems like EVERYONE lane splits there! lol

If I goto vietnam, think I'll stick with public transportation, like that big ass bus! Suicide trying to walk across the street!

Aaaaaamen!!!! Yield is definitely a foreign word here in the U.S. I mean people at the ski resorts can't even get the "alternate lines" down. After all, it is rocket science!!

hardly anyone is driving SUVs, most are compacts or even better cycles, and as long as no one slams on the brakes things looked chaotic, but went very smooth.
