Red light, green light

One of the most notable differences between Argentina and home is how the people here drive. They are soOooOoOOo reckless. Yellow lights ALWAYS mean accelerate. The way the stoplights work here is a bit different too. If you are stopped at a red light, you have to wait until the light changes to show both a red and yellow light at the same time (which happens once the cross traffic sees a completely red light). This basically means "proceed with caution." It's really only safe to go once the light changes to green though because people blow red lights constantly. The funniest thing is that the bus drivers follow the rules the least. Well I guess that's not funny cuz a lot of people actually die or go to the hospital after getting hit by the bus... but I guess it's ironic that of all people they should probably be the ones following the rules of the road and they don't. The first time I road in a cab here felt comparable to tubing on a lake. The car bounced up and down aggressively on the cobble alleyways and my driver certainly had no respect for stop signs. He would enter a 4-way intersection with no stop signs and not even slow down to check for oncoming traffic. I haven't seen one speed limit sign since I've been here... not that the Argentinians would respect it anyway lol. And that is why I take the subway.
