Good one.
In Greece, when on a roundabout, you giveway to traffic entering the roundabout!

In Cyprus everybody ignores whatever rules there are, if indeed there are any

As I said in the blog, I have not covered priorities and such like, what I have tried to do is to emphasise the need to check the rules of the country in which people are visiting or driving/riding in with some of the differences that many are not even aware of.

In Egypt the more lights you have and the bigger your transport, you have right of way, apparently this also works for coaches that want to overtake on blind bends, and any oncoming transport whether there's room or not.:eeek::eek:

Be aware that for MANY years, traffic joining a main road from a side road had the right of way in France

It is not like that now and hasn't been for years, but watch it in the outback areas..... People still think they have right of way

In India, cows have right of way. Then it’s whoever is biggest followed by who’s going fastest. And it’s compulsory to sound your horn every five seconds.

Think I’m joking?

In the Dominican republic there are no rules unless a copper pulls you over & tells you you have just broken one then you just put your hand in your pocket & give him some money.
