driving in manila and racing

[redorange]

pardon me if the question is rather naive....

i read an article some time ago saying that RP drivers(specifically sa Manila) are better than those in the US and Canada, quite simply because traffic here is chaotic, and we somehow manage to get to our destination in one piece. Sa tingin nyo, does it translate to the race track as well? all except perhaps drag racing, does driving in Manila, in effect, train you to be a better racer?

Maybe not a racer since Manila driving doesn't involve much high speed driving. But Manila drivers definately can manuever in tight spots better than drivers in the US. I have Fil-Am friends who learned to drive here and refuse to go behind the wheel in Manila because of the driving style there which is basically organized chaos. I learned to drive here also but figured out that people are more likely to give way in Manila than in the US so am able to drive there. IMO in the US if the other car has right of way they most likely won't give way and will just hit your car.

EDIT: Keep in mind that in the US the speed limit is basically 65MPH or 105KPH sometimes it can be 75MPH or 121KPH. States like Montana and Wyoming have no specified speed limits on the interstates as long as it is within reason for the road conditions. In most instances people drive at least 10MPH over the limit anyways.
