9 de Julio is the main street through Buenos Aires and has 8 lanes of traffic in each direction for a total of 16 lanes. Its not a freeway. It has pedestrians, cross traffic, and is generally in a state of mayhem. The video is tame compared to what I've experienced on the road. Normally the cars don't pay any attention to the lanes. They merge without warning and if they can crowd another driver out of a space they will. Motorcycles drive twice as fast as the cars and constantly split lanes. They must think I'm an idiot for driving so slow.

I love the video - really feels like I am there - so cool.
ReplyDeleteThe video is great, especially since you are are on a motorcyle, you feel like you are weaving while watching it, I like the part when you head towards the taxis and split them.
