    Other than proving Aussies drive on the wrong side of the road ;P it really shows that drivers are idiots regardless of where they are.

    They also drive upside-down, so it all works out OK in the end. :)

      They have to use steel belted tires so the magnets in the roads prevent the cars from falling into outer space.

              That whole reel looks like normal driving in Toronto. It's actually disturbing how I'm watching it going "uh ha.. yep, oh yeah, that old chestnut. Yep, that was this morning. And yep, those two yesterday afternoon.."

                    I think that most countries have people whose driving licences were issued in a Christmas Cracker / Cereal Box ... :laugh: I used to commute (by motorcycle) into London every day, and the standard of driving was unbelievable. Every day you'd pass someone reading the paper while driving, doing makeup, or in one case driving at 70mph with his lappie open on the dashboard, typing away and steering with his elbows ... :omg:

                            just go to youtube and search for crazy russian drivers. That is something. I almost wet myself and I was 1000's of miles and months away from the crazyness.

                                  Remind me never to board a helicopter when you are flying.

                                  I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

                                      Good. You see, a helicopter can fly in any random direction just as well as simply straight ahead. Such things as left and right are very relative. And if you are lucky, some helicopters can do all that invertedly (= upside down). The only reason for most rotor heads not being constructed to do that is because this is a little uncomfortable for more than a few seconds and yet another flip of the control axis is seen as an unneeded risk.
