Buri,
Ah, so you have slowed down –– I just let my wife do most of the driving and take receipt of tickets (well deserved:-).

Very good points in your blog.
Thanks,
Drew

Buri, your (former) driving habits would fit right in here in Alabama. There seem to be only a few road rules in these parts:

1) There are no Speed Limits. That number on the sign is actually the Driver IQ. There are only "Speed Suggestions".

2) Those line thingys painted on the road? Mere decoration.

3) It is mandatory to go at LEAST 30 miles per hour over the "Speed Suggestion".

4) If a driver absolutely must go the "Speed Suggestion", then by all means, use the left/fast lane.

5) Turn signals are for Suckers. The only time to use the turn signal is when the driver is in the left/fast lane, going at least 30 miles per hour under the "Speed Suggestion", and then that turn signal MUST be kept blinking for at least 60 miles.

I hope you are safe while driving. I drive the speed limit myself, and the hostility generated from other drivers is startling.

Also, please excuse my cultural ignorance, but I thought "The most famous foreign face in Japan" was Elvis...

Wow, they're strict. They're making him type slower, too. ;-) Viva vibrato!!! Buri,

Send me your address and size and your free T-shirt is on its way.....
