I would say that Paris is the only other place where I've seen driving akin to Boston, except of course that Paris is so much larger. Again, I didn't feel threatened in Paris or that people were pushy, it was just strong driving & you had to assert yourself.

If you ever get a chance to drive in Taiwan, it's an amazing experience. The traffic is tremendously dense, cars, small trucks, many many scooters, yet people are very, very courteous. I don't think I heard anyone honk except for a cheery 'beep' - as in: 'Hullo, I just want to be sure you see me!'

I'd have to agree that LA driving is some of the worst I've seen. If you have 200 yards to the exit and two lanes to get across, good luck finding someone to let you through.

Just my $0.02.
