Seems more effective than what we have here

 

crazy but it works ?!

 

'cause everyone knows the rules - Big one rules the road. The small guys have to wait.

Insurance companies nightmare.

 

In Third-World countries, police often direct traffic at intersections. But it seems obvious that no traffic cop in his or her right mind would want to stand in the middle of that one.

 

Haha it's a free-for-all over there.

Over there:
It's every man for himself with no rules at all.......while saying ****** you to the rest of the road

Yeah that's interesting.

Me thinks that the drivers there employ really hardcore and extreme defensive driving whilst utilizing this principle:

 

You think those cars are insured?

 

From my experience as a pedestrian in your neck of the woods...it's not too different where you are
