12. Smart. Better to be a 'defensive' driver, and drive like your life depended on it (and in a way,

it does). Where I am at, they drive in the middle of the street too, but I think that this is due to the city streets having cars parked on both sides of the street 100% (usually there isn't enough off street parking), and some people either are too nervous to drive 100% on their side thus would prefer to drive in the middle of the street. The streets are mostly pretty narrow too, this doesn't help either.

If they want to drive down the middle of the neighborhood street, that's okay, as long as they get back over on their side if someone on the other side of the road approaches them, i.e., share the road obviously.

Problem is, is when the streets are too narrow and there really isn't anymore room / space on that particular street, then someone must pull over so the other vehicle can get by. I will usually pull over and wait the other driver goes by (or if they pull over, I do the same).

If a spot is not available for either of the two of us to pull over...then we both have to slow down and crawl past each other (but it still works, and we both get to our destination).

Of course, some people are just idiots and inconsiderate towards others on the road. An unfortunate part of driving. As long as they don't hurt someone.
