I have to say that after riding my bike all around Cebu City driving in the US is easy.   Remember don't honk the horn like they do in the PI and don't drive 2" away from the next car.  If you stop at red light once in a while your doing good.  Screeming works to get the attention off your mistakes good idea LOL.

Hi Esiang,

The main reason I was yelling at my son was to watch out for the crazy freakin' drivers who were breaking most of the traffic laws. This is one of the worst places to drive in the US! When my son was learning, we saw people driving on the wrong side of the road coming toward us, running red lights, U-turns on red lights, stopping dead in the road, you name it! The most common violation is right turns on red lights or at STOP signs without stopping or even slowing down, sometimes crossing numerous lanes of traffic. We saw one lady lose control in front of us, hit another car, shoot across 3 lanes of traffic, jump a curb and roll over onto its side in a ditch...cell phone still glued to her ear, talking. =8o( Here you have to expect the totally unbelievable!!! I call it "Offensive Driving."

Hi Dave H.
 
        when my husband yelled at me, I get so nervous,
that's why it's better for me to yelled at him so I feel so cool driving.he..he...

        I've experience that too crazy guys driving on the wrong side, anyway I'll always expect people like these anytime.
 
         LOL for that lady so crazy, good for her....
crazy drivers talking on the cel. and smoking while driving, they should be prohibited.

Hi Peter,

I should mount a video camera on my dash! LOL Probably the same lady. ))) My Ericsson would never work in a moving car. Say, do you think it would work upside down? ;o)))

Speaking from my experience,

First choice: If you can afford it, hire a professional driving instructor.

Second choice: Have a friend teach her.

Last choice: If you MUST teach her yourself, get drunk first!

Filipinos are naturals with stick shifts. How many automatics have you seen in the Phils? :-)

Hi Ray,

I can't imagine a Cuban lady with a stick shift! Drinking coffee, eating, putting on makeup, talking on a cellphone, making gestures with her hands...all at the same time, while trying to shift! )))
