Ma nish ta nah...and this is different from driving in most American cities how? I live in the Washington, DC suburbs and the drivers here are just as rude if not more so. Couple that with the fact that most of the people here are not native to the area (present company excepted) so when the weather turns foul, most just crap their pants and crash into the nearest stationary object.
Have you ever driven in Israel? I've driven in Manhattan. It's not as bad as Israel. In fact, on one trip to New York, as we were driving to Kennedy Airport, we tried to pick out Israeli drivers. They are uniquely reckless.
I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004. You can contact me at: IsraelMatzav at gmail dot com

Danny,
