Oh yes, I forgot I have a car now (thanks Ben!) I love it, it's stick shift and it's red. All I need is a Swiss sticker so people will know why I am driving like a retard. Driving in America is quite different than in Switzerland. For some reason Americans obey to certain rules (and get really upset if you don't comply with that rule) while they are more relaxed on other rules. For example indicating ("Blinker") on highways - no one indicates a lane change. As a matter of fact people simply look in the mirror and change lanes, you would think blind spots don't exist over here. So it's always the duty of the car behind to stop or slow down to avoid an accident. On the other hand a Stop sign is a Stop sign and if you don't stop you get in real trouble.
As a side note: Never drink alcohol in a car, not even when you are just sitting in a parked car. Alcohol is a big No-No and if caught:
3 months driving suspension, $400 fine, 12-48h in an Intoxicated Driver Resource Center, up to 30d imprisonment, $100 drunk driving fund fee, $100 Alcohol Education Fee, $1000 annual surcharde for 3 Years and the list goes on.. and that is for first offence..
