OMG.....does he really think it's necessary to wear a helmut?  

  Do you know where that film was taken?  I caught a quick flash at the end saying to be continued somewhere in Switzerland (?)  It was so fast I didn't really catch it.  It looked lik the Fraser Canyon.

The sign in the begining says: Grimselpass
Grimselpass that's in Switzerland. Plus easy way to distingush something from North America to Europe is to look at the road patterns. Europe's is one white line and of course ours is two yellow lines.

me niether. Its a mountain pass. I'd go slow to see the sights lol.
Although I think its no fun being the driver when driving through the mountains. Everybody is staring at the scenery and you want to as well but of course you can't, you're driving.

Love the scenary in Switzerland. Amazing. We stayed up in a hotel at Mt. Pilatus. There's nothing like waking up to see this breathtaking view first thing in the morning. Over the cityscape and snow on either side of us. Quite a number of fellow Aussies have never seen snow so it was a treat for them.

  Waaaah! I wanna go back to Switzerland!!!!!

no kidding about the snow. When I was looking up my school on youtube I came across a girl from Taiwan I believe who goes to the school. She took a video of the first snow fall she'd ever seen apparently.

I've never seen white striped roads here. Laws say the centre line on a two lane road must be yellow.

[FONT face=TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT-Identit size=3] [P align=left]Where crossing the lane line markings is discouraged, the lane line markings shall consist of a normal solid white line.

[/FONT][FONT face=TimesNewRomanPSMT-Identity-H size=3] [P align=left]Option: Solid white lane line markings may be used to separate through traffic lanes from auxiliary lanes, such as uphill truck lanes, leftor rightturn lanes, and preferential lanes. They may also be used to separate traffic lanes approaching an intersection.

 [P align=left]Wide solid lane line markings may be used for greater emphasis.

[/FONT][FONT face=TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT-Identit size=3] [P align=left]Standard:

 [P align=left]Where crossing the lane line markings is prohibited, the lane line markings shall consist of two normal solid white lines.

 [P align=left]Lane line markings shall be used on all freeways and Interstate highways.

I'm not talking about those lanes. I'm talking about this:

the yellow line. Europe doesn't have that. There dividing lane on a two lane road is a white line.
