    Happy Friday all!

    I drive 26 miles on route 2 to get to work. Somerville to Littleton. Should take 35min, takes me an hour with traffic. That Alewife intersection is he worst thing I've ever seen.

    I lived in Cali for a few years. Boston traffic doesn't even register on the same scale as LA. If Boston traffic is a 5 on a scale of 1-10 then LA is a 50. And we dont have 16 lane wide highways here. This is what the 405 looks like every single day:

    IMO, nothing is worth having to deal with that commute.

    If I was sitting in traffic and that thing blew over the top of my car it'd scare the shit out of me, lol.

    Concept is excellent. However, it requires that drivers actually hold their lane, which seems to be nearly impossible for the average derp drowsing through his morning commute.

    True. Everything is more strict in China though. Not using a blinker probably results in a severe beating and a fine lol.

    This is true. But applying it to people in CA (or probably just about anywhere in America), it wouldn't work.

    My bosses have been there an Taiwan. It tends to be more of a free for all is how they describe it. Driving down wrong way and everything. Pretty much a "it fits it ships" mentality.

    Unfortunately I'll be driving from one end of NH to the other while pulling a 12k lb trailer. Salem to Pittsburg with a 38' park model trailer. At least it's only THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF NH. FML

    My wife just came back from China and said they were nuts. The tour bus would cross into the oncoming lane and use its horn to clear a lane...

    I have a hard enough time not dying while driving in UAE. I could never imagine driving in China or other southeast asian countries. Korea or Japan wasn't so bad though.
