If your license is valid to drive in New York City or LA, then you need to know how to drive in traffic.

Or the famous Chilean patriot Bernardo O’Higgins?

Not it didn’t.

And they were both right

I’d be cautious of recommending PayPal as 99.9% of the time they will side with scamming sellers in any dispute.

That’s a standard thing with Avis in Europe now. I rented cars in London and Paris on three occasions this year and they played the same trick every time - charged me for a full tank at $assrape per gallon and then claimed it was a “mistake” when I sent them the receipt from the gas station less than a mile away.

That’s also how you get banned for life from renting from them.

Still better than Hertz, unfortunately.  

I was in Miami last month for the first time in years.  The combo of old people doing 40 in the middle lane and charger/mustang/maxima bros doing 120 while weaving around them is not a good combo.  No wonder insurance is so high

Or, if he’s in Houston, F350 4x4 dually to his job as an accountant at a regional tile company

I suspect it is very UK specific. Over there, because gas is relatively way more expensive than here, poorer people tend to drive much smaller cars, if they drive at all. Whereas here, lower income folks often drive older full size trucks or older, large sedans and SUVs.

All subject to the whims of the blue-shirted high school dropout who couldn’t get into the police academy.

Same here in Connecticut. I can’t remember the last time I saw a car pulled over on I95

Still low by historical standards. My sister’s first mortgage was 14%, mine was 10%. I believe my parents paid 15-17% in the late 1970s/ early 1980s.

I used to love to ride to work - but dodging garbage/glass/gravel in the shoulder/bike lane, having near death experiences most weeks with texting/drinking/eating/arguing/sleeping/otherwise distracted drivers, and having nowhere to shower or clean up at work cured me of that.

But are most houses in the UK built of wood and paper products?

There’s a very amusing Chris Harris video somewhere on YouTube where he put 4 space saver tires on an AMG.  A perfect drift machine

I got my original license in the UK - I passed first time, but (like your wife) took lots of training in order to pass. I took a practical driving test in Ontario when I moved to Canada - that was a 15 minute test that even omitted the parking requirement because the 1970s station wagon I had borrowed for the test…

Try that in Florida where almost every car has double-dark Limo tint.  You can’t seen anyone inside, never mind make eye contact

Literally just had to submit a photo of mine to attend a conference (and will have to submit daily testing to enter the facility).
