What are you doing here?

Hair??? Maybe you could dive back in and grab a scoop of last night's chocolate mousse. It'll make you look like a movie star.

Baja California is more safe than California. The only real problem is gringos who road rage, or never learned to drive safely. Mexicans all hit the
brakes when they see something on the road.
note to bad driving gringo, next time stop and give them some water, maybe they will put you in their video,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vh583LHXLxc
after reading above posts all would agree these people should not be on the road
Give your self a purpose in life and help them, or at least hide their car keys
HEY GRINGO HIT THE BRAKES

You have actually reminded me of a very important driving tip that comes into play along the hundreds of miles of two lane. When approaching a vehicle
from behind, if they turn on their left blinker, they are signalling to you that it is safe to pass......most of the time!

A list like that would be great. FMM. When you google it, it comes up Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers. But I am taking it that is not what it
is. But any dos/donts would be helpful
