I'm just wondering if these report editors have driven in Tripoli or not!!!
Driving is challenging enough to do well without any added distractions - fighting kids in the backseat, a cyclist popping out between parked cars, pedestrians taking risks between speeding cars.
But if you think your commute is tough, consider these 10 spots we've found - we reckon they're the most stressful cities in the world to drive.
1- Rome
There's a terrible joke about trying to explain Italian drivers' bad driving habits - they're all failed racing drivers. But the reality isn't too far off.
Out-of-towners should be aware of the perennial tailgaters who have no trouble putting their Fiat's hood an inch off your back bumper. Rear-view mirrors are rarely used since the only traffic that matters is what's in front or beside you, and seatbelts are merely a suggestion.
This all makes the fatality rates for drivers extremely high and dozens of collisions a daily occurrence. It's best to resort to public transit or cabs if you want to keep your palms dry.
2- Mumbai
This is certainly one that needs to be seen to be believed, but driving in Mumbai will expose you to all the bad habits and dangerous manoeuvres that were drilled out of your system during driving school.
Overtaking on blind corners, accelerating off side-streets without looking, ignoring any semblance of lanes and roads that are so poorly maintained that you'll wonder how any vehicle remains drivable for long.
Oh, and did we mention the people who lie down for naps at the roadside? Or the large, overburdened buses? Animals? Tuk-tuks? It's enough to make you pull your hair out.
3- Athens
Just because the Greeks gave us a template for Western civilization, doesn't mean that driving in Greece's capital is anywhere near civilized.
A general disregard for traffic laws, combined with the lack of available parking, means that any street could be blocked by double- or triple-parked cars or trucks.
4- Ulan Bator
This city is very different from the others on this list in that Ulan Bator is a major population centre with over a million inhabitants, but only a quarter of the roads in the city are paved - and paved poorly at that. Beyond the city limits, only a small fraction of the country's 'roads' are maintained to any degree.
Mongolian driver training definitely needs some attention too, and seatbelt use is immeasurably low.
5- Paris
Paris makes the list if only for the insanity that is the Arc de Triomphe - a large roundabout that has 13 different entrances, no markings, no lines, and hundreds of other drivers who (probably) know where they're going.
Watch for children playing chicken, other drivers cutting ahead, no one leaving space ... It's a driver's nightmare, but somehow it kind of, sort of, works.
6- Beijing
With over three million vehicles on its roads - and 1,000 new ones joining them every day - China's capital city by any definition is hectic.
Like others, the basic rules of the road are generally ignored, including lane markings, stop signs and proper merging. Don't expect Beijing-ites to extend any respect to the police or emergency services either - they have no fear about honking or expressing their frustration if a cruiser is slow getting away from a stop light.
7- Orlando
Because the area is so heavily populated with tourists, carjackings at red lights are frequent. The gigantic malls are so popular that traffic anywhere nearby gets caught up in the overflow, and even the world's largest McDonald's must have the world's longest drive-through line.
8- Seoul
Perhaps the most interesting thing to note about driving in Seoul is that the transit buses are on a schedule and can legally ignore the traffic signals that everyone else follows.
Not that regular drivers obey the lights either, and pedestrians are best left ignored. Pavements are fair game too, not only to drivers looking for an extra couple of inches, but also to the swarms of tiny-engined scooters that take to anywhere paved (or not) to improve their progress.
9- Toronto
Toronto has an awful reputation as a city with some of the worst congestion around. With the continent's busiest highway (the 401) capping the city with nearly a half-million drivers a day, it is hugely intimidating.
It is also 18 lanes wide at times - and all 18 crawling ridiculously slowly anywhere near rush-hour.
10- Manila
Triple-lane changes, ignoring other drivers, never signalling, breezing through red lights ... these are all things drivers can expect when in Manila, the Philippine capital.
Others to keep in mind include using the opposite lanes of traffic to get out of traffic jams, honking your horn frantically and making left turns from the far right lane.
