Not debating you point, but you should try driving in Boston or NY. Not that it comes close to the Bangalore situation, but if the road infrastructure was as bad as it is here, you would see pretty much the same. Seattle is over-polite, I feel suffocated there with people being so nice to each other :) However, for an even better experience you should go to Hyderabad. I have seen things that have made me stop and really think to arrive at the reasoning behind what some people do on the road. It goes beyond just not caring about others and wanting to get ahead, its a total breakdown of logic and reason. Kiran
