> Montreal would be the ultimate test, both climatically and just for navigating sheer chaos.

The ultimate test would be Cairo or Mumbai or Lagos :-)

I remember the traffic in Cairo (1970s).

It was absolute chaos. They had "half-cars" driving around (front-wheel-drive cars, with the back end missing, and replaced with a rickety wooden cart; sometimes, just like a drag cart, with no wheels).

I'm curious about those half cars. So they start with a perfectly good car and cut off the back? Is that to carry more cargo or something?

		I suspect the frame rotted. I was just a kid, so point of view was limited.

Not much snow in any of these, or occluded vision. Which drivers seem to struggle with, a lot.

		Just traffic conflicts to the Nth power and bad/unmarked infrastructure.
