Homegrown Driving
November 8, 2008
I have grown used to the Puerto Rican style of driving. This includes treating stop signs as yields, treating yellow lights as green lights, interpreting the first few seconds of a red light as a yellow light, U-turning over medians, driving in reverse on a shoulder to back up into a missed exit, and parking on the side walk. Though I have defended this way of driving as efficient, effective, and laissez faire, I understand the need to "behave" when I'm in stateside. Despite this, it's quite tempting to pull off one of these moves when you're lost. The fact that there are less police cars patrolling around add to that temptation.

PR driving sounds like New Orleans driving. Except you didn't mention anything about turn signals. Nobody in NOLA even knows what that stick on the steering column is for.
