I can definitely imagine it would be worse to drive - most places in the third world would be as well - but at least it would be exciting!

It's the braindead driving on cruise control bollocks I can't stand in the US.

Egypt is probably the craziest place I've been in a car (driven) on a regular basis - the taxis in Cairo are mental ****ers...!

While there's a fair proportion ignoring the traffic "guidelines" to advance their own position in traffic (

), there's still a significant portion that just plods along ignoring said "guidelines" (

). But it's the added and seemingly arbitrary use of No Left Turn and No U Turn signs that adds the real flavor. (Fortunately I merely observed as a passenger).
