Info

Remnants of wreckage of a fatal accident are located behind shrine and strewn around the area— testimony to the sudden and violent departure of the soul from the body. In the right-hand photo, note the wreath lying atop the wreckage.
Driving defensively is required in Mexico, according to the country’s AAA tour book. “Always be alert to road conditions and other motorists. Bus, truck, and other drivers who are familiar with local routes will drive faster and negotiate maneuvers more boldly than tourists.” Driving in Mexico requires patience and intuition, and foreign drivers often find that the Mexican driving culture is far more complicated than in their own home country. Local drivers tend to weave in and out of lanes as they please, often without the use of turn signals; they also frequently ignore red lights or rive the wrong way on one-way streets. And so on. This photo shows a van passing a truck on a curve with a small cliff to the left as both vehicles head downhill on a mountainous road approaching a 90-degree blind turn.
