Driving in different countries: cultural differences?

[Drew Catnip]

I don't drive, but Romanians are fairly good drivers.

1. there are written rules for how to drive, but, here, no one respects them.
2. there are many irresponsible teenages or even adults driving cars.
3. statistically, about 94% of the driving accidents are caused by irresponsibility.
6. many people drink and drive.
7. people don't respect the speed limit. in a 60km road, people drive at 120km. ridiculous.

These things are also quite common in Poland. I can also add driving on red lights, failing to let the pedestrians pass and honking at bikers. And funny thing is that almost everyone will tell you: "the speed limit is for average drivers. I am better, so I can go faster"

how is it possible? this is very strange... how can someone say that?
that's because of these and more reasons that we still can't understand this humanity!

Want some more? Here you are:

"The slow going drivers are much more dangerous than the fast [those who overdrive]"

"Driving after one or two shouldn't be punished bacause people know that they drunk and drive more carefully"

"The slow going drivers are much more dangerous than the fast [those who overdrive]"
"Driving after one or two shouldn't be punished bacause people know that they drunk and drive more carefully"

that's very strange... in what do they base these phrases? probably, in the fact that they just want to do whatever they want, because, if they didn't want to drive, they would probably say the opposite. hypocrite people who just don't understand the rules...
we follow the rules (we would never break rules, because we understand their importance and meaning to an organized and trustworthy society).
for example, if we say "I drive carefully" to one of those rule-breaking people, they will probably answer: "looser". but "looser" in what sense? in the sense that we will win respect and trust from the society? they are the only loosing ones, for sure, because they just loose the opportunity of being morally right. but, we would never say those people are loosers: they just need the correct orientation, because it's not their fault if they were corrupted by the society: the true fault is of the society.

Stick to it. Even if you find many people who think different.
