My daughter was watching the "Lizzie McGuire" movie last night and I
happened to catch a part where she asks this young Italian man if he knows
how to drive. He says "This is Italy... No one knows how to drive."

Not sure why I found that so funny, but I don't really think US drivers (or
any others) can be held in higher regard. It may just be that * thinking *
you know how to drive is a good way to get yourself in an accident and being
a little humble about it would lead one to think more about the actual
driving and less about knowing that you know how to drive.

Just a thought. And we do kill 50,000 to 60,000 every darn year on the road
here in the USA.
