I've driven in Montreal and Dallas. Except for the fact that the
Dallas drivers were probably armed, they didn't worry me as much as
the Montreal drivers. The only place that scared me more than
Montreal was in Madrid, and there I was only a passenger.

That's what I heard about Rome. I told my boss last month when he
threatened to send me that I might drive fast, but not that bad.

Rome wasn't that bad, the other drivers are predictable but the Police
have some odd notions of how violations should be handled.

The worst place that I've driven was Torre del Greco, a small Italian
town. It's on every map of Italy that I've seen, regardless of how small
the map (it's near Pompei & Naples). I think it's a subtle warning. ;-)

Second worst is Boston & vicinity. In other places drivers will do just
about anything imaginable, but in Boston, you have to watch out for those
things you never imagined anyone would do. Every time I've been there I've
seen someone driving the wrong way on the freeway, but that isn't the
worst I've seen there.
