Ahhh but in a Merc you can run over a speed hump at 50mph and not feel it, hence
the need for signs. Just for us.

So far I have encountered polite drivers who make room when you have to change
lanes/merge, perhaps better than back home, where people pretend not to see your
indicators.

better in that you only give way one way and thus can come onto the round about

Red blinkers, perhaps the reason they are red is because the fluid needs
changing.
Seriously I am that used to amber blinkers that sometimes it takes my brain a
while to figure our the reaon the red light is flashing is that they wanna turn
somewhere, however seeing that the speed limit is 10 kmh
Actually the first person to get there, then the person on their LEFT
goes. If a person is on your right, then you have to yield [the RIGHT

I found that the Mexicans 9in Mexico) use four-way speed bumps instead of
stop signs - seems to work just as well, since that's how we use them
anyway, as you pointed out.

Yeah the 4-way stop is a PITA most of the time, actually.
They are WAY over-used IMO. Most of them should be stops or yields on the
