You are generalizing again!
Tailgating is an American invention where they do it on purpose.
You may have your opinion and I have mine:most foreigners are worse drivers than Cypriots.

I'm not generalizing at all.

These are observations I have made about Cyprus. In the USA and Australia, I have NEVER seen a motorcyclist not wear a helmet. In Cyprus you see them every day. To me this is an indication of lack of any consideration to their own personal safety, and if that is so, there is also a lack of consideration of others safety as well.

So what's the difference between Australia/USA and Cyprus?

I will tell you what the difference is. The Australian and US law enforcement is unyielding. They are there, and they are doing their job. You just know not to mess with them.

Everyone knows that in the USA or Australia, you will get a fine if you break the road rules. In Cyprus, you might get pulled over and even if you get pulled over, you can play the koumbaro card.

In the USA or Australia, you know its not going to be your day if the coppers pull you over. So everyone wears a helmet, and a seat belt. No one parks blatantly illegally, and no one will wiz pass you over the speed limit. If you indicate, they will let you in not give you the dekata! No one wants to get pulled over. And the coppers won't pull you over if you do the right thing. They would rather not as well.

We have law enforcers, who will fine you for parking on the grass or nature strip. that's why we have nature strips and trees in the US and Australia. You don't park on them. You know, its about Keeping Australia Beautiful, not turning it into a garbage dump.

Thank God science has already discovered the cure to your problem.
The only thing you have to do is just stop appointing yourself a GCE examiner.
If symptoms persist take an aspirin.
In case you still keep blowing your gaskets, then your shrink will fix it.

Now if you excuse me, I have more patients waiting.

You just know you’re dealing with an utter jerk when one has such a cavalier attitude towards their pitiful shortcomings!
