BTW, that's Georgia as in the USSR, not the USA
I recently had the pleasure of touring Egypt and witnessed the "driving"
evident on Cairo "roads".
The Egyptians have made considerable savings on their road system by: -
1) not marking ANY lanes on ANY width road
2) not having any traffic control devices
3) not having any road rules
Remarkably IT WORKS!!
We watched traffic negotiate a huge roundabout adjacent our hotel at Giza.
With a polite toot now and then, vehicles traversed up to 4 lanes of traffic
(5 if you include the footpath!)to jockey for exit position.
Taxis and community busses stopped ANYWHERE on the roads to allow passengers
to alight and board.
We were in Cairo for 4 days and didn't see ONE vehicle accident.
Plenty of donkeys and carts to add spice to the traffic flow too.
Didn't see any roadsters though.
Oh, and the bottom line is, let someone else do the driving!
