        By "targeting", do they mean ["mumping"](https://www.worldwidewords.org/weirdwords/ww-mum1.htm)? (See the Terry Pratchett quote in the article)

            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.

                                      But I think they'd drive better than some of the idiots in these videos.

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