Cool video..thanks for posting.

One question, though?  Where exactly are these guys DRIVING CARS that other people obey the rules and drive defensively?  That's beyond my experience.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.  -Mark Twain

Those drivers are apparently in Canada, where people are allegedly more polite, law-abiding and courteous than on this side of the Line.

They're certainly here not around Boston! ;D
