By nature, I'm a pretty cautious driver. This is mostly because I don't trust anyone else on the road. The UAE (where I'm from) and Santa Fe (where I live) have more in common than dark skin, tribal culture and sand: both have abysmal records when it comes to road safety. Add precious cargo – such as groceries, a cake or a kid – and I'll drive like a weary old goat in a snowstorm, squinting through imaginary weather and hunched over the steering wheel with hazard lights blinking.
