YEP.

And if you look at condition of Indian. Thai, etc roads. and the volumes on them.

They HAVE to be pretty good. Just to stay alive.

Mexico city is good too. Worth a short taxi ride just for the experience.
Believe me.

They all, mainly solid traffic. (And I mean solid) weaving everywhere.
and. In relation to volume of.
Very few accidents.

One thing those country's people, KNOW how to do on the roads,
Is blend and keep traffic flow.
No lights. just drivers and occasional traffic cop.
I'm talking city's and big towns here not country.

A LOT of so called "drivers" in this country.
Could learn a few lessons from those country's drivers.

I've driven in a few.
And from first day here. I've always said.
Australia is one of the worst country's in the world for driver volatility.
(Road rage for no reason)
and lack of Blending in traffic flows. With very few exceptions.

We are one of the most dangerous country's to drive in.
Virtually NOBODY gives way or try's to blend.
There's just a little red switch in the brains of most.
One way vision.

Obviously NOT all. But as a population, in comparison to some others.
Most drivers in this country wouldn't last half a day in those Eastern country's
Some, about 5 min's.

Mexico City is the one place we've been. After trip from Airport. I didn't hire a car.
Got taxi everywhere.
They bloody amazing to watch.
