Yes.. It's MUCH more hairy than in the northern climes, but all this means is
you must be a bit sharper. But then again, I get a terrific thrill out of
playing in traffic, so maybe I'm just weird.....

But seriously... I didn't mean to imply politeness in the part of European
drivers, just a likeable degree of driver-sense, and the realization that
biker & ped. are people, too !
