Age: Can you reach the pedals?..... Here's the keys.
Competency: Who needs a licence anyway
Car of Choice: LADA 1400GL 5speed!
---and why?: I don't think any other car could cope with the roads (See "The Roads")
Seat belts: Who said they have to be tight around you, and surely you don't both need them buckled in one socket is enough for two seats ya! Rock, Paper, Scissors?
The Roads: Gravel, pebbles, stones and cobbles; all loose of course!
The Bridges: Chunks of metal welded together
Tyres: HARD! Very Hard! (See "The Roads")
Drink driving: Make's driving more fun, and what damage can you really do with a LADA 1400GL
The Apex: Because cornering on one side of the road is for wimps!
Side of the Road: The right…. or left….. or middle…. ah all three are taken…. the hard shoulder…. then the harder shoulder….. the hard shoulder on the left…. who cares as long as you get there faster than the car in front (especially if they are the police)
Over Taking: Obvious! do it! get past them and squeeze between two lorries if you have to!
The Handbrake: For the tighter corner!
The Horn: A must have multi purpose tool for all drivers, use to say hello to other drivers or pedestrians, use to express distaste for those less capable drivers, use to squeeze through traffic, announce your presence, to see if it is working, to move chickens, cows, geese, ducks, horses or pigs out of your way, to show that your's is louder than someone else's, to reply to someone else's, to press, to press again, and again, and again… You get the picture…. You need one; they love them!
The Police: Race them it's fun! Now remember the rules. Rev your engine and flash your lights… wait for the siren horn to sound, and your off! Don't let the police beat you though, that's no fun now is it!
How many people can get on a bus: How many people can fit on a bus… or in a car… or even on a bike for that matter… the more the merrier.
Mobile phones: it's good to talk!
Locks: You don't need to lock your car, even in the city. But make sure you lock the glove box you wouldn't want the contents to go missing. It's not like glove boxes are housed in a self contained tin with wheels and an engine, that could be moved with a screw driver (see: "Car of Choice")
Now that you know the dangers make sure you do as the Georgian's do. As conservative driving could get you killed in these parts! We can't have people thinking whilst they are driving!
Peace!
