Hi, my name is Matthew and I am a Latin American Driver. ...
It has been 3 hours since I have driven like a Latin American
As I cannot seem to find any support groups down here, I have decided to start my own Chapter of Latin American Drivers Anonymous, as I need to kick the habit within 4 weeks or so, before I return to the USA.
Below is my Chapter's 12 Step Recovery Program :
1. Stop overtaking Police cars on double yellows, on bends
2. Stop overtaking Chicken buses and lorries on double yellows, on blind bends
3. Stop using the traffic calming bumps in towns as overtaking points
4. Stop doing U-turns across multi-lane highways (Panama City - 12 lanes (6 ea. Way!))
5. Stop overtaking buses overtaking trucks
6. Stop undertaking trucks being overtaken by buses
7. Stop riding the wrong way down 1-Way streets
8. Stop riding the wrong way around town squares
9. Stop doing illegal u-turns in front of Police
10. Stop riding on the pavement (sidewalk)
11. Stop riding on 'No Motorcycles' city through ways (Lima, Peru)
12. Stop riding thru villages at twice the speed limit (whilst being overtaken by a bus)
