We are learning to drive like the Italians. Actually, sometimes they stop. We haven't figured out that system. If they don't stop, neither do we. If there is a hole that your thumb will fit into, it has to be patched or it won't pass inspection on the base.
Inspection is required to get military plates overseas.
There are speed limits here, but I haven't seen very many cars going that slow. Usually, if they are going the speed limit, it's probably because their car won't go any faster. At least with a tornado you get some warning. Usually, you know to watch for one by seeing the weather and listening to the radio. With an earthquake, there is nothing and nobody to warn you that it is going to happen.
