Trânsito Cuiabano/Lifestyle: Road Safety in a Brazilian City

If you can drive safely in Cuiabá, you can drive safely in anycity in the World.  But that's just my opinion as a World traveller.

This blog is not intended as a political statement.  I have no interest in politics and understand it even less.  However, being a blogger brings with it some reposnsibilities and since politics controls our lives it pays to pay attention to it.  

Having just come in from rush hour morning traffic, it has struck me again how problematic driving in Cuiabá is.  On the main arterial route of Avenida Rubes de Mendonça protesters are puttung up signs about the latest political scandal.  Two nights ago there was a traffic jam on Avenida das Torres.  A woman had been hit by rush hour traffic and was lying apparently unconscious whilst civilians controlled the traffic.

And half an hour ago there was an accident outside the Associação dos Municípios Matogrosseses.  A lady was lying half on the road and half on the pavement.  

In Cuiabá, don't drink and drive: you'll spill it.
