salvadoran driving rules

a.k.a. TEN REASONS WHY I REFUSE TO DRIVE IN EL SALVADOR

1) Every driver has the right of way, every single moment of every single day.

2) If you feel the vehicle in front of you is going too slow, feel free to pass it, anytime, anywhere.

3) Turn signals are optional (and rarely used).

4) Truck beds are perfectly acceptable places to be a passenger, sitting or standing.
                     
5) Following distance = 1/2 a car length.
     Stopping distance = 2 inches.
     Passing distance = 1 centimeter.

6) If you need to stop the vehicle to drop someone off, be like Nike and Just Do It, wherever,
      whenever (on a highway ramp, in the middle of a two-lane road, whatever suits your fancy).

7) On-coming traffic? No need to wait; go ahead and back-out of the driveway!

8) Stop signs are just a suggestion.

9) Speed limit? What's that?

10) As long as no one was hurt, it wasn't really an accident...
