Blind driver drunk totally 2cv
Ur- Turn is your weekly opportunity to contribute to TTAC. Every Saturday we select a different piece submitted to our contact form, and publish it as a showcase for the diverse perspectives of TTAC’s readers. In the spirit of Halloween, today’s contribution from Bobby Wayland takes on the scariest scenario a driver can face: motoring in Italy. I recently arrived in Italy, stationed in Naples for a two year tour. When the topic of driving in Italy arose, most passed on stock advice they’d heard third hand from those who’d actually done it: the Italians are crazy drivers; get a beater and forget about exploring Europe in anything zippier or more comfortable than a Fiat Punto. Possibly good advice, and buttressed by simple observation of many Italian (especially Neapolitan) cars – they’re nearly all dinged, dented, scraped or deformed in some fashion. There’s even a term for it employed in used car advertisements; “just a few Naples kisses,” they read, to describe a bruised VW Polo as if the fist-clenching scrape of another car against your own is somehow comparable to pleasant lip to lip contact. The phrase is actually a reference to the palms-turned-upward, eyes aloft, “who, me?” gesture that accompanies most Neapolitan smooches, a cheerful way of dismissing the frustration and inconvenience of 430€ of body work by swaddling it in “isn’t that adorable?” Since lots of Neapolitan cars would only be worth 430€ if they were transporting 615€ of socially inadvisable narcotics, they go unrepaired and their owners grow further unconcerned about a little bit of contact driving. Despite that, the Italians are not crazy drivers. They certainly do not adhere to American standards of driving. They don’t abide by lane markers, stop signs, or yield signs; their traffic circles burden vehicles in the rotary with the obligation to yield to entering traffic, they drive at inconsistent.

( Continued) ] This is one of many articles related to automotive safety here on Car Cynic.com. To find other articles, just search for safety using the search box on the left. Edit: Added comments about safety glass. One can take a quick glance at a Citroen 2 CV, note that it has no airbags, and very lightweight construction, and come to the intuitive conclusion that it is not safe to drive on modern roads. Let's add some automotive safety facts to our intuition, and see where the 2 CV really stands. First, in order to be fair and objective, we need to set some ground rules for the discussion. Virtually everyone that lives in the industrialized world knows someone who has been involved in a serious automobile accident. If the person is a family member, or close friend, a car accident can be a very emotional event. Never the less, we must realize that a single event does not constitute a scientifically significant sample space. We need to put the anecdotal events and stories aside, and discuss facts and engineering. Secondly, We must be fair and rational in cars we compare the Citroen 2 CV against. If I somehow knew I was going to be involved in a collision with a bus, I'd rather be in an M1 Abrams tank than a Citroen 2 CV - No question about it - but we must be a little less childish in our discussion. Cars in 2 other classes make for fair comparisons: First, the 2 CV is a small economy car. So for this discussion, comparing it with other small economy cars - even modern ones - will be considered fair game. Secondly, the 2 CV is a classic, collectible car. Comparing it with most other antique collectible cars will also be considered fair, even if those cars are much larger and heavier than the 2 CV.

Every Tuesday I intend to do a quick review of some of the posts from the last week that have made me smile, made me chuckle or, even. just made me think. Some of these you may have seen yourselves. And some of them you may have missed. I don’t think of these in any competitive sense at all. This isn’t a top-ten listing. They’re merely the posts that have stuck in my head. 1). And this week, we’re starting off with Ed at An English Kid in France who tells us about My Family. And, for those of you with sensitive dispositions, let me tell you that His parents get to keep their clothes on in this blog post! Instead, Ed talks about Poop on the kitchen floor and puppies doing heads over heels! Ed, a wise decision to avoid Jam, Sloe Gin, Lycra, Nuddy Beaches and All those other things your mum blogs about! 2). Rebekka from Whimsicalwanderlust seems to be settling in quite well (she is one of this year’s intake of Teaching Assistants) and was keen to share the Things I’ve Learned after one week in France. And top of her list was “1. Food tastes better here. I have no idea why that is, but so far, it holds true for everything I’ve tried (except for Beer – beer, so far, has been too expensive here to taste better).” To which I can only add “ Rebekka, forget the beer (the best French biere comes from Belgium anyway!) and get straight onto the Ricard! The Ricard in France tastes wonderful!” 3). Owen, over at Magic Lantern Show, delighted us, once again, with some more wonderful photos of A Most Beautiful Place This time the photos are of the Parc National des Cevennes, in the Lozere department of France the least populated French department Beautiful photos, each picture postcard quality And simple words. What more could you want? 4). And Dana at Grenobloise was also creating things of beauty; but she was painting them rather than taking photographs. In A New Yorker Paints.
