But my friend, you must learn when in Rome to drive as the Romans do! (And here's hoping that Kiwi never has to face the notorious drivers and roundabouts of Rome. Right, Emanuella?)

Rome? Been there, done that. At least in Rome drivers will give in to the inevitable and let you in if you force the issue, because everyone else does it. At Niagara, no one was prepared to give an inch. Most unusual because, by and large, USn drivers are courteous. Must have been something Canadian. Changing tack seemed better than trying to explain away a fault accident in another country to the rental car company. Chicago and LA were child's play by comparison.
