10 place. At the crossroads of two worlds
Accustomed to being guided by the rule of the right hand, our fellow citizens extrapolate from home experience to driving abroad, but in vain: far from everywhere one should be right-handed. For example, in the United States, the one who drove up to it first has the advantage when driving through an intersection. However, in most states turn allowed right at a red traffic light. In Thailand, it is even more interesting: the one who blinked his headlights before will pass first. And in India, the driver of the larger vehicle has the right of way.
In Europe, the rules for crossing intersections are more similar to those familiar to us. However, it should be borne in mind that at intersections with roundabout the main one will always be the one who rides in a circle.
9th place. The price of speed
Unlike Russia, where the speed of movement in settlements limited to 60 km/h, most European countries You can't drive faster than 50 km/h in towns and villages. However, there are exceptions: for example, in Poland from 23:00 to 06:00 this limit is increased by ten kilometers per hour, synchronizing with our rules. Outside settlements, you can drive no faster than 90 km / h, with the exception of Germany and Austria, where you can officially accelerate to hundreds. In Switzerland, Denmark, Holland, Norway and Finland, the restrictions are even more severe - no more than 80 km / h. Finally, on motorways, depending on the country, the limit is 110-130 km/h.
As practice shows, fines for cars with Russian numbers at the place of residence of the owner do not reach. However, if you are caught red-handed, the punishment will be severe.
8th place. Drink poison!
In a small amount European states(Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia) for drivers there is a dry law, according to which, in principle, there should be no alcohol in the blood. However, in most countries it is still possible to drive while lightly drunk: you will be clean before the law if the blood alcohol level does not exceed 0.5 ppm. And in some countries, sobriety requirements are even more liberal: for example, in the UK and Liechtenstein, as well as in Malta, you can have fun driving as long as the alcohol content is within 0.8 ppm.
7th place. Forbidden Pop
Fans of winter travel should be aware that not in every European country the traffic police will be happy to meet a car with studded tires. The legislation of some countries of Central Europe categorically prohibits the operation of vehicles on a spike, while requiring that in winter time years, the cars were shod in seasonal tires. In other states Winter tires are mandatory for use in a certain period of time, although the owners have a choice of which rubber to give preference to - “pop” or “Velcro”. In any case, when planning a travel route, tire question should be worked out in advance.
6th place. Stop being afraid
The institution of paid parking in our country is now in its infancy, while in developed countries the asphalt of city streets has long ceased to be free. There are a lot of nuances here, and they all differ from country to country. Somewhere the cities are divided into zones with a differentiated cost of parking, somewhere there is an opportunity to park for free, but the duration of parking is strictly limited. In the same country, parking rules may differ in different cities. In general, there are a lot of subtleties and taunts in this matter, so in each new city the parking issue will have to be resolved on the spot. However, there are also general rules: in big cities it makes sense to look for park and ride parks (in some countries they are designated as P + R - that is, parkandride), where you can leave your car for a long time for relatively little money, and get to the center by public transport.
Of course, it’s better not to run into a fine - even though in this case, Russian numbers in a sense relieve responsibility. In addition, there is always a risk in one's own skin to study the features of a national evacuation, which in any case will fly into the euro cent.
5th place. Don't call me, don't call
Abroad, talking on a mobile phone while driving without using hands-free devices began to be banned in the last century, and we have successfully adopted this fashion. Penalties for such an offense are serious - from several tens to several hundred euros. All the more curious is the fact that in Sweden there is no such ban on talking while driving, but in the event of an accident, the police can qualify this act as reckless driving.
4th place. Put out the light
In many European countries, the use of dipped beam headlights in daytime is mandatory, however, there are plenty of exceptions: in Germany, Spain, Belgium, Austria, the Netherlands, France, Portugal, Great Britain and a number of other countries, headlights do not need to be turned on during the day. In Italy and Hungary, dipped beam is mandatory outside of built-up areas, while in Ukraine, Moldova and Croatia this requirement is seasonal. And definitely you should not turn on the "foglights" without special need.
3rd place. Fast or Free
WITH toll roads abroad, everything is clear: entered - received a ticket, left - paid the money. However, in nine central European countries (Bulgaria, Austria, Hungary, Romania, the Czech Republic, Switzerland, as well as Slovenia and Slovakia), all major motorways are essentially toll roads - the right to use them is given by a vignette, which must be purchased in order to avoid a fine. Usually a vignette is a paper sticker that should be purchased at the entrance to the country and immediately stuck on the windshield in a clearly visible place. In addition, in Romania and Hungary, a vignette can be "incorporeal" - that is, electronic. The cost of a vignette varies from €3 (Romania) to 40 CHF (Switzerland), however fines are more expensive.
2nd place. The gift of the radar
In many countries of Western Europe, radar detectors are prohibited by law, and if the traffic police finds a “bad” device in a car, they will definitely confiscate it, and even solder a fine. And in France, they can take away the car to the heap. On the whole, states can be conditionally divided into three groups: one can both own and use “anti-radar”; may be owned but prohibited from being used; cannot be owned or used.
1 place. motor and camera
DVRs are not banned in most European countries, however, in some of them, the use of a reality capture device is not recommended. The explanation is quite simple: concern for privacy. Austria has gone furthest in this sense, where in 2015 there was a law according to which posting footage in the public domain entails a fine of €10,000. However!
BRITANNIA
Perhaps the best thing about Britain is its car roads. Well-groomed, marked out with purely English foresight and thoroughness. It is clear where to go - the local roads leave the driver more likely than anywhere else in the world to reach their destination safe and sound.
Britain indeed has one of the lowest road death rates in the world, at 5.4 deaths per 100,000 people. Since the 1970s, fatalities on UK motorways have steadily declined. Pedestrian fatalities have dropped by an impressive 78 percent in Albion over the past 40 years. The total number of deaths in traffic accidents has decreased by 7 percent in the last few years alone. However, if you count the number of fatal accidents on the local roads to the number of cars moving on these roads today, then there is all the evidence of a sharply increased safety of British motorways: 199 deaths were for every 100 million car kilometers in 1967 and 48 deaths in 2007.
Between June 2009 and June this year alone, according to the Bureau for National Statistics, the number of deaths on British roads decreased by 19 percent compared to the previous same period.
Due to what such impressive victorious results have been achieved? Through relentlessly improving strategy and tactics traffic. Hundreds of studies are conducted annually in the country on the subject of road safety. So, for example, it was recently found that only 5 percent of drivers involved in an accident were speeding.
It turned out that more than 30 percent of accidents are caused by the inattention of drivers and the lack of habit to carefully monitor traffic situation. 16 percent of accidents are caused by careless or risky management.
In connection with the latter, appropriate measures were taken: a ban on talking on a mobile phone while driving and smoking. According to the new rules of the road code, an aggravating circumstance for driver accident will be what he smoked or lit up at the time of the accident. Smoking while driving public transport and company car, is also impossible. You can't even enjoy driving. So, a miserable Dutch driver who was “lucky” to drive a truck with chicken legs on the roads of North Wales. He was sentenced to eight weeks in prison for eating pasta while spinning the steering wheel. The hungry Dutchman was tracked by a police helicopter circling over him.
In general, on the roads of Britain, a visitor who has arrived from other countries may get the erroneous impression that there is absolutely no supervision behind him.
And in fact, meeting the traffic police on the local roads is a matter of great luck. But another eye is watching the driver - the round eye of the yellow square head of the road high-speed camera.
A special sign on the road will warn the driver well in advance of the fact that a camera is installed on the road ahead, so that he has time to slow down. The purpose of such a fair game is not to catch the violator and not to charge more fines, but in fact to make him slow down in dangerous areas.
Meanwhile, it is the skill of the driver that is fundamental in the British concept of traffic safety. Few British people get a driver's license the first time. It will be great luck to get them on the third or fourth attempt.
Official data on accidents in America show: the number of accidents with fatal in the US is declining quite sharply.
Reports federal system of accidents in the United States, which is part of the structure of the main "road department" of America - the National Highway Administration, indicate that every year everyone dies in "fatal accidents" fewer Americans. So, if in 2008 34,172 people became victims on the roads, then last year this number decreased to 30,797. That is, the downward trend continued fatal accidents: in 2005, more than 39 thousand people crashed to death on US highways and roads, in 2006 - 38,646, in 2007 - 37,435.
According to experts, 40 percent of all American accidents and 60 percent of all fatal crashes are caused by drunk drivers, and their age is mostly in the range from 16 to 24 years. The second most common cause of traffic accidents in the United States is the exchange of SMS messages on a mobile phone. And if the use mobile phone While driving a car without a hands-free device is prohibited by law throughout the United States, SMS bans have not been introduced in all states.
For example, in Washington right on special screens installed along busy trails, drivers are reminded that texting while driving is a direct violation of the law. According to official data, about 1,500 Americans die or become disabled every year in the United States for this reason.
Despite the high culture of driving, disputes between drivers, as well as aggressive behavior on the road, are not uncommon in the United States. It is interesting that the police urge to immediately report drivers - boors by a special phone, and the nearest patrol is immediately put forward to search and detain violators.
Pedestrians are often the cause and victims of car accidents. Thus, the New York City Hall, having distributed a report on the situation with traffic safety in the main financial center of the United States, emphasized that the number of accidents involving pedestrians has increased on the streets of the city. Of particular concern are older New Yorkers aged 65 and over, who are involved in nearly 40 percent of fatal crosswalk crashes. It is noteworthy that in a study of traffic problems in New York, it is indicated that the city's famous yellow taxis, with which the streets are filled, get into accidents much less often than private transport, and the death rate among motorcyclists on the streets of New York is 18 times higher than that of drivers and passengers in cars.
Any research on causes of road accidents in the USA are analyzed, and based on the results of the “analysis”, specific solutions. So, in the case of the mentioned study of the problems of accidents in New York, the city authorities immediately changed the rules for driving at New York intersections, and also began to discuss proposals to reduce the limit allowable speed movement.
BRUSSELS
Culture of auto-rudeness In Belgium, the problem of ensuring road safety is one of the priorities for local and federal authorities. And there are serious reasons for that.
According to statistics, which are carefully collected and processed by specialized organizations, in a relatively small country by European standards with a population of 11 million, about 1,000 people die every year on the roads as a result of road accidents, more than 60,000 people are injured of varying severity.
Experts note that over the past year there has been a significant reduction (up to 20 percent) in the number of accidents. Statistics allow experts to hope for a reduction in the short term, the number of deaths on the roads to 800 per year.
One of important mechanisms reducing mortality and ensuring road safety is a clear and well-functioning system for training drivers and issuing driving licenses. The Belgian system for issuing rights is somewhat different from the Russian one. Applicant driving license, who has reached the age of 17, must first pass theoretical course, after which he immediately receives a temporary driver's license. However, here he needs to make a choice - if desired, you can get crusts that give the right to drive a car only accompanied by more experienced driver(in this case, you do not need to take a practical course at a driving school), or the rights of the so-called. "independent" driver (in this case 20 hour course required practical driving). At the same time, a number of restrictions are imposed on the holders of temporary rights: they cannot drive the car in the evening from 22:00 to 06:00 in the morning on weekends and holidays, engage in commercial transport and leave Belgian territory by car.
In order to get "real" rights, devoid of all these restrictions, you need to travel for at least three months with temporary crusts, and then pass a serious practical exam. Tellingly, you can take the exam on own car. After every two unsuccessful attempts to pass the exam, the applicant must take an additional 6-hour theoretical course, of course, for a fee. In general, the entire procedure for obtaining a driver's license costs the applicant about 1,500 euros.
Paradoxical as it may seem, but despite such a thorough approach of the authorities to the training of drivers, traffic in the country every year becomes more and more chaotic and chaotic. Local old-timers note that in Belgium the notorious politeness and courtesy of European drivers is gradually disappearing. Even today, pedestrians crossing the road in designated places. The general culture of driving has significantly decreased, and sometimes it borders on rudeness. Driving through a red traffic light, non-observance of the traffic lane, not turning on the direction indicators when changing lanes, and even leaving a oncoming lane are very common in urban areas. Bicyclists deserve special mention, most of which fundamentally ignore all existing rules when moving along city streets.
ISTANBUL
There are more and more cars on the roads of Turkey every month. Fifteen millionth Istanbul is already in soon runs the risk of catching up with Moscow in terms of traffic jams and parking difficulties.
The relatively low cost of most Turkish-assembled cars, as well as car loans available to any average Turkish family (a ridiculous 0.45 percent per year for Russians) have made buying a car in Turkey a common thing. Surprisingly, even the stunning price for gasoline by Russian standards (a liter of 95 costs almost 4 lira here - about 80 rubles) cannot discourage the Turks from loving fast and often reckless driving.
In Turkey, it is not customary to wear seat belts, and no one here is particularly keen to teach Turkish drivers to do this. The RG correspondent met specialized child seats designed for transporting small passengers only in a few local stores - as a rule, you will not find this accessory in the cars of traditionally large Turks. But give the kid a ride front seat Turkey is very fond of cars. The traffic police, as a rule, look at these things through their fingers.
Nevertheless, violation of traffic rules in Turkey significantly hits the wallet. For exceeding the speed limit by 30 percent, a local motorist will be fined a tidy sum of 6 thousand rubles. Accordingly, the higher the speed, the higher the penalty. The RG correspondent felt this the hard way...
About four years ago I swept across the country loud scandal due to a sharp increase in the number of bribes to employees traffic police. The proceedings received a wide response in society, after which most of the police cars were equipped with cameras that allow tracking the actions of the “Turkish traffic police” during their work. After that, judging by official statistics, the number of bribes decreased significantly.
The so-called "purchase" of a driver's license is not accepted here either. Many interlocutors of "RG" did not immediately understand what was at stake here. Getting a license in Turkey is quite easy. It is necessary to complete three-month courses, the mandatory result of which is a state exam. The cost of three-month courses varies from one thousand to one and a half thousand lira (from twenty to thirty thousand rubles), depending on the city.
According to the sad statistics of fatal accidents, the number of accidents on the roads of Turkey especially increases on the eve, as well as in the midst of the Eid al-Adha holiday. Many Turkish families go by car to their numerous relatives living not only in Turkey itself, but also in many European countries. So, this year, about 200 people crashed on the road during the week of holidays. Unfortunately, such statistics are only getting worse every year, but the Turkish authorities have not yet made any major changes to the rules of the road. Perhaps only an annual increase in fines can somehow affect hot Turkish motorists.
HELSINKI
According to the Finnish law enforcement agencies, the reduction in road deaths was the result of the introduction of amendments to the traffic law. In accordance with them, cyclists are required to ride in helmets, and pedestrians wear reflective elements on their clothing, including in built-up areas and on illuminated streets. Previously, this rule applied only to unlit streets.
As the correspondent of "RG" was told in the Finnish police, at present, about half of all accidents involving pedestrians are registered in dark time days or twilight. In this regard, the police are sure, it is necessary to wear a reflector both when driving along a footpath, and in the absence of one along the street.
Drunk drivers remain a major problem for Finnish police officers. About 25-30 percent of fatal road accidents are caused by drunk drivers. Therefore, the most severe punishment that Finnish car enthusiasts can only suffer is for drunk driving. For this, they are deprived of their rights and can even be imprisoned.
IN last years among Finnish drivers, alcohol locks have become popular, which block the ignition if the alcohol level is at least 0.2 ppm. Many transportation companies install alcohol locks on their vehicles. This has a significant impact on improving road safety. Supervisor accident research In Finland, Pekka Sulander from the Center for Road Safety even suggested that alcohol locks should be included in all cars.
most terrible reason fatality on the roads is a collision of cars with moose. “Several thousand accidents involving elk and deer occur on Finnish roads every year. Therefore, we entered new sign“moose on the roads,” the Finnish police told the correspondent of RG.
WARSAW
According to statistics, about 50 thousand traffic accidents occur in Poland every year and more than 5.5 thousand people die.
This is the most high rate in the European Union. Moreover, from year to year, the number of deaths in car accident people is gradually growing. At the same time, the percentage of victims due to the fault of drivers and pedestrians also increases. According to the police, the main causes of accidents are violation of the speed limit, recklessness and drunk driving.
The Polish government, concerned about such statistics, is taking comprehensive measures to improve the situation on the roads. Nevertheless, the European Road Safety Council (ETSC) in Brussels has published a list of countries in which its members face the greatest dangers. In this list, Poland is in the top three along with Russia and Slovakia.
To turn the tide, in Poland since the new year, the responsibility for ignoring the rules of driving has again been tightened. For drunk driving, the driver is now forever deprived not only of his rights, but also of his car. However, the situation will radically change in better side so far failed. Pedestrians, cyclists and children are still often victims of road accidents. Meanwhile, traffic fines in Poland still remain one of the cheapest in the EU.
According to the materials of RG.RU
The rules of the road have been reduced to a common denominator for quite a long time, and in most countries they are the same - adjusted for. But there are also nuances.
USA
Most states allow right turns at red traffic lights. Sometimes it is not obvious, as there are no corresponding signs. The handicap rule on the right does not apply: usually the right-of-way advantage unregulated intersection from the one who drove up to him earlier - here you need to be especially careful.
Some local bans generally cause a smile, but they are official. So, in the state of Montana, you can’t leave sheep unattended in a truck, in Alaska you can get a fine if you tie a dog on the roof of your car, and the traffic rules of Georgia specifically state that you can’t drive through playgrounds.
Germany
Germany is actually the only country in the world that does not provide for speed limits on autobahns, except that in some sections it can be regulated by appropriate signs. But everything is fine within reasonable limits, because it is against the law to be on the highway without gasoline here (!).
Another curious nuance: when entering an intersection with ring traffic, it is prohibited to use a turn signal.
Austria
In most European countries, you can use the DVR, but not in Austria. For the mere presence of this device in the cabin, you can earn a fine, and if you put the footage in the public domain, prepare 10 thousand euros!
In addition, local citizens who have fallen into the field of your lens have the right to go to court and collect another 20 thousand euros. The only exception is shooting an accident after it has happened. This is how Austria takes care of privacy. And monitoring the order on the roads - headache exclusively relevant services, even if egregious traffic violation takes place right in front of your eyes.
And also in Austria, as well as in Germany, the Czech Republic, Switzerland and Slovenia, motorists are impeccable in terms of passing vehicles of operational services - ambulances, police, firefighters. Participants in the movement know the rule by heart: as soon as a car with special signals appears on the horizon, everyone who was moving along the right lane shifts as much as possible to the right, and those who drove on the left - as much as possible to the left. A high-speed emergency corridor is formed in the center, along which a car with an advantage passes.
Slovakia
Not all travelers are aware of the need to purchase the so-called vignette, which gives the right to transit and use the roads of this country. This is a small sticker that is placed on windshield; You can buy it at any gas station. The vignette system is also used in other European countries, such as Romania and Hungary.
In Slovakia, there is also an official ban on indecent gestures while driving. The fine for this offense is 30 euros.
Czech
No "errors" of the breathalyzer - there should be no alcohol in the driver's blood at all! The same strict dry law operates in Hungary, Romania and Slovakia. But in some countries, such as the UK, Liechtenstein and Malta, you can drive even with 0.8 ppm in your blood.
Italy
You may be surprised, but in Italy it is forbidden to honk in residential areas. In reality, this rule exists only on paper: local drivers almost always ignore the ban, using a sound signal to the right and left.
markup yellow color at the edge of the road in Italy means that only a person living in the area can leave their car at this place, although in fact the rule is rarely checked. So they violate it.
Serbia
In Serbia, Montenegro and a number of other European countries, you will find quite a few "waffle irons" - at large intersections, grid markings are applied with yellow paint. It is strictly forbidden to enter the waffle iron without being sure that you will pass the intersection without stopping.
Such a measure avoids confusion and piling up of cars that did not have time to complete the maneuver during rush hours. As a result, the painfully familiar situation is eliminated when the green light is already lit for you, but you cannot drive straight ahead because of cars moving in a perpendicular direction that have clogged the intersection.
Other European countries
Already in neighboring Finland, radar detectors are strictly prohibited. Even the very presence of the device in the car is a reason for confiscation and the imposition of a large fine, which our compatriots often come across, who just go to the border hypermarket for groceries and, of course, forget to leave the device at home.
In France, in some cases, for the presence of a radar detector, they can even confiscate a car for a parking lot. In general, when going on any trip around Europe, it is better to lay out the “anti-radar” - out of harm's way.
Saudi Arabia
Everyone knows that women driving in this country until recently were outlawed. Now the rules have been relaxed, but women still need a man's permission to get into the driver's seat.
And the holy cities for Muslims - Mecca and Medina - have two bypass roads each. The one that is closer to the city is for Muslims, the one that is further away is for those who adhere to a different faith. It is written on the road signs, it is impossible to make a mistake. Speed mode in many cities of Saudi Arabia differs from what we are used to: often you can find only two signs restricting traffic - 80 and 100 km / h.
Israel
Some of the local road signs are different from what we are used to. For example, instead of an inverted triangle calling to give way, a symbolic image of a raised white palm on a red background is used. And almost always the congress main road crossed by an additional zebra, over which a yellow pedestrian traffic light flashes.
It is useful to know the nuances regarding parking: the curb in Israel is usually painted in different colors. Red and white stripes mean that stopping is prohibited; blue-white - paid parking, A grey colour allows you to park the car without restrictions.
1. In the Swiss city of Zermatt, vehicles with exhaust are prohibited from entering. You can only ride around the city by bicycle, horse or electric car, which, by the way, are almost non-existent here.
2. All men entering the UK must comply with one peculiar law. If you are impatient for a little, and there is no toilet nearby, you can only relieve yourself on your car, or rather on its rear wheel. Of course, the law applies only to men.
3. Mexico is a country in which the donkey is considered a transport. So, in order to drive and ride it, the driver (the owner of the donkey) must have a license, in which there must be a photograph of both him and his donkey. 
4. For novice drivers in Japan, as in most other countries, a special Shoshinsha sign is installed (left). It needs to be pasted on the car, and by its appearance it resembles a young sprout. However, only in Japan there is a special marking for the elderly - the Koreisha sign, mandatory for drivers over 75 years old. (on right)
5. In Finland, fines for serious traffic violations are calculated as a percentage of the offender's last declared income. Therefore, it is the Finn who holds the world record for a speeding ticket: in 2004, the heir to the business empire, Jussi Salonoy, was issued a receipt for payment of 170,000 €. 
6. In Japan, after rain, drivers have to be extremely careful - accidentally splashing water or mud on a pedestrian, the motorist will be forced to part with a very tangible amount.
7. In China pedestrian crossings do not have the same meaning as in most countries, and only indicate a place where a pedestrian can cross the road, as long as there are no cars nearby. As for the drivers themselves, they are strictly forbidden to let pedestrians through - to slow down and even more so to stop before crossings. Chinese attempts to cross carriageway- the spectacle is far from for the faint of heart. 
8. In Cyprus, you can not even drink water while driving. It is believed that this creates an unnecessary danger on the road for other road users.
9. In Saudi Arabia, women are prohibited from driving not only cars, but also bicycles. The only exception is intra-block roads, otherwise complete patriarchy reigns on the roads of Saudi Arabia.
10. If you wear corrective glasses in Spain, you are required by law to have a spare pair in your car. 
If you, having come to rest in another country, decide to rent a car in order to have time to get acquainted with all the sights with the breeze, do not forget that some points of the traffic rules of this country may differ significantly from the usual Russian ones.
Although, in many ways, of course, the rules converge, but there are significant amendments. In other words, what is good for a Russian is a deprivation of rights for a German.
Germany
Since we are talking about this country, it would be nice for a driver on the autobahn to know that there is no place for excessive emotionality. In German traffic rules, there is a whole list of emotions that are not appropriate on the road. Among them are a demonstration of the middle finger, a hand bent at the elbow, and even a tongue show. The minimum fine for incontinence here is 200 euros (8,000 rubles), for indecent gestures, you can lose 3-4 thousand.
USA
The most incredible rules of the road, of course, in the USA. So, in the state of Pennsylvania, when meeting with horse-drawn carriage the motorist must urgently cover his vehicle coverlet so as not to frighten the horse. Not allowed in Arkansas sound signals
near eateries after 21:00. In the state of California, you will be punished for washing your car with your underwear and storing anything other than the car itself in the garage.
Thailand
In this resort and such a hot country, it is strictly forbidden to ride a motorcycle, bicycle, moped and in a car without a shirt.
France
Advantage in France public transport, therefore, it is strictly forbidden to enter a specially allocated lane for buses. But driving after a bottle of beer or a glass of wine is not at all illegal. The main thing is that the alcohol content in the blood does not exceed 0.5 ppm. In case of violation, you will have to pay 135 euros (5,400 rubles) and look for your car at the impound.
Israel
Speeding here is, of course, a violation. On the other hand, it is quite easy to "explain" it to the police. It is enough to admit that they were driving at a speed of 120 km / h - and forgiveness is guaranteed. This is because the number 120 for the Israelis is a wish for longevity.
Saudi Arabia
Patriarchy reigns here and on the roads: on almost all highways, women are forbidden to drive. Moreover, this rule applies to cycling. A woman can steer only on intra-quarter and private roads. Tourists who violate this law are deported from the country.
Japan
Here and on the roads, as in everything else, order and respect for each other reign. After rain, you must drive on Japanese highways with extreme care so as not to spray a pedestrian. For such a violation, you will have to pay a fine equivalent to 1,800 rubles.
China
There are many videos on the net of how the inhabitants of the Celestial Empire cross the roads - and this sight is not for the faint of heart. And all because pedestrian crossings in this country simply mark the place where a Chinese person can cross the road while there are no cars on it. Drivers are strictly prohibited from giving way to pedestrians and stopping in front of zebra crossings.
So, be careful and polite on the roads. Not only "away" for fear of a fine, but also at home.
