The other week I saw a pillion passenger sitting facing backwards holding on to a wheelbarrow full of stuff.

Eight cars in the entire frame !

Is that woman cyclist in the middle lane overtaking the little Fiat?

Or did the Fiat just park in the right lane for a picnic lunch?

I used to wonder why I saw bicycles, pedestrians and families having lunch, sitting on blankets by the side of Grl Paz, until I realised that it isn't a motorway (freeway) and thus, isn't subject to the usual regulations.

All looks very quaint....even England like.

Panamericana and Grl Paz are my least favourite when riding my motorcycle, because they're so crowded now and the motorists can be very aggressive, with little thought to their two-wheeled freinds like me.
Possibly the most dangerous areas are the turn-offs/exits, especially when someone decides to take the exit at the last moment and cut across the paths of others. I anticipate that at every exit and ride accordingly.

Having seen how they drive here and even though I have a license I refuse to drive the car. It's mayhem!! Even stopped riding my new Honda 125 after only 16km.
I'll continue to let others do the driving thanks.

That’s a huge relief to all Olivos drivers, I’m sure.
(Upon closer examination, I see that the model is Cristina Fernandez herself. Now the billboard REALLY doesn’t distract you, right?)

If it's anything like the Ruta 5 roundabout it'll be an accident waiting to happen. Drivers here haven't a clue how to negotiate roundabouts. In fact they haven't a ruddy clue about any of the highway code, if one exists that is.

I am never confident I’m doing the right thing on roundabouts. No one signals when exiting, so there’s a lot of guesswork. When the circles have inner and outer lanes, it’s easy to either get stuck in the inner lane or have an accident trying to change lanes, so I tend to stay in the outer lane, which I know is counter to the intentions of the people who design those tortures -

In the UK they're common in most towns and cities and no doubt will probably have to be negotiated in the driving test. There the driver who wishes to enter the roundabout has to give way to those already on it...here it seems to be a game of chicken.
-
-
It’s logical that the car entering the circle allows those already circling to proceed. But, once there, no one uses the turn indicator to let everyone else know when they are exiting. Makes me crazy.
-
-
Using a roundabout here is a lottery. There are some signs that say to give way when approaching them, but usually when you're on a roundabout, you have to give way because those entering expect you to.
It's completely shambolic, like everything else in this country, where people just make things up as they go along.
