I don't know how true this is, but I find that Dutch and Belgian drivers seem to have much less regard for traffic laws than the Germans and UK drivers. Things like not cutting corners and indicating at roundabouts. One big difference

It depends on your definition of 'very little traffic', the Poynton Plan reckons on about 900 vehicles per hour [0]. > Park Lane also carries significant traffic flows (some 10,500 vehicles per 12-hour day), much of which is

The scheme has only been going for two years, so yes it would be worth checking again after say 10 years. But there are significant differences. From the Wikipedia article: > Indeed, fatal car-to-car and car-to-pedestrian accidents dropp

Belgium has what I consider a very bad system of priority from the right. Often what this means is that they just don't bother to put in any signs on junctions where they can't be bothered. Then who ever comes from the right has p

There's quite a lot of economics behind this for local currencies e.g. The Brixton Pound [0]. The number of times that currency gets re-used (keeps flowing in the system) is very important, that is the person you pay, uses that to pay

If you're unable to learn, you're basically not even human. Perhaps you missed of a word at the end of the sentence? (Not that this makes it much better, but at least comprehensible) ... unable to learn Python?

I tried the Mozilla voice recognition through the Firefox addon. It was unusable, the recognition of words was very poor. I really want an open source version, but there's not much point if it is not usable.
