You all need to drive in Mexico for awhile! It improves and at the same time deproves your driving. You can and will see EVERYTHING there.
It improves your driving because you are so much more alert for ane ready to react to (pick any/all that apply):
Cars/Trucks with no lights at night
Vehicles without brake lights
People that don't stop at stop signs / lights
People that stop at anything
Cars sticking their nose our at intersections (since there is no setback for obstructions)
People running 20 under to 50 mph over the limit
Oblivions who change lanes at will (whether you are there or not)
Donkeys, dogs, cats, burros, horses, pigs etc on the highway
Payloads and/or pieces of vehicle in the highway or actively falling off at any time
It deproves it because the rule of the road is "He with the biggest cajones has the right of way" and if you don't drive like that, you won't get anywhere. Tends to make you a little aggressive.
Thank God I was driving my 1500HD when a dump truck came up behind me at a light. It had just changed and I got a chance to release the brakes and start rolling before he hit me. When we both came to a stop, he just told me he had no brakes.
I could only respond in my best Spanish "No mierda, pendejo" Luckily, the heavy duty trailer hitch and his very flat bumper along with me being off the brakes at the time conspired to minimize the damage. Replace the bumper and hitch and I was OK
A fast car is nice too, so you can pass them fast and easily.
