RE: South Africa's Pointsmen - an experiment in human behaviour?
There are fake cop cars here with dummies in uniform on the highway but people actually fear them because of the tickets, not sure why people slow down for someone with no authority. Driving in your city looks crazy I watched Chappie yesterday
I see you're from Calgary - I grew up in Montreal (home of the jaywalkers) and freaked out in Calgary when I stepped off the pavement and all the cars stopped. Yikes.
I lived in Montreal for two years much better town for riding my bike
It seems to have become much friendlier in the 20 years since I left Montreal for Johannesburg!
It takes a lot of courage to move somewhere totally different, good job!
Thanks - it was the right move, but most South Africans think I'm insane for leaving paradise for chaos. Wouldn't have it any other way.
