Never trust a red light to do what it is designed to do here, and always anticipate the most unexpected driving foolishness. Use extreme and extra caution at U-Turns from every possible direction, and remember the rule of the road: the biggest vehicle will flash its lights at you and has the right to crush you.

If you mind all of those unwritten rules, you'll have a great chance of survival no matter what vehicle you choose.
