How to drive in Iraq

I just love how they disregard the people on foot.

You would too if stopping meant someone blows your shit up.

True.

It usually means anything is a risk and the insurgents can come from out of nowhere. I'd imagine people are fed up with it, but they do know enough to allow a pass for official authority even if it's on the other side of the street.

It's also impressive that nobody got into an accident in that vid. Is every ride in an amy vehicle like this over there?

You don't stop for shit.

There are still roads in Iraq? I'd figure you'd need an offroad vehicle to get around by now.

"Look at this guy picking his nose. Not a care in the world."

Seems like there could be a better way to do this. Atleast give them lights and a siren or something.

That would announce their presence, g0zen and you'd hear them coming a mile away. Not a good thing.

And bumping the ass of civilian vehicles and potentially sending them into wrecks is better? I'm not seeing any benefits to traveling by road at all. Didn't we rely heavily on helicopters for troop transport in Vietnam for precisely this reason?

Yes, that makes perfect sense.

Loud ass whirlybirds that you can hear coming from miles away that just scream "Hey you! Yeah the one with the Rocket Propelled Grenades! SHOOT ME DOWN!"
