Have you ever seen the Italians drive??? They are no better I take it.... oh and I take it that 60.000 Km on German Autobahns is a higher qualification than your average soccer mom. There are some places in the world where having a foreigner drive just isn't a good idea...... one would be Beijing in general, another on the big several lane roundabouts in Paris, Palermo during rush hour just to name a few and I bet there are a lot of other places to add to that list.
