What's the response of the drivers of your country/region to sirens of ambulance/firefighters/police ?? :blobcatnerd:

In India no one much cares about giving way. The roads here are chaotic and lawless while the mentality of the drivers is selfish.

@mur2501 people usually pull over to the side slightly to let them drive past. some dont but they are regarded as assholes

@immortalzen
Brits were always disciplined :ablobblewobble:
Probably those assholes would be Scots :ablobcatbongo:

@mur2501 move to the side of road and get out of the way 😉😉

@ARIES413
From the videos I saw USA was quite disappointing compared to Europe.

@mur2501 Move to side if that can be done safely. At traffic lights, when your light is on green, wait anyway until the emergency vehicle has passed.

@trinsec
I am very impressed by the Germans, seen so many videos of this though there was a one driver who didn't gave way (number plate seemed Polish :ablobcatwink: )

@mur2501 I've read Dutchies complaining that Germans drive better than their fellow Dutchies. I've read Germans complaining that Dutchies drive better than their fellow Germans.

I guess Germans and Dutchies drive about the same. :P

@mur2501 They just drive on the wrong side of the road, so the point is moot. 😋

@trinsec
We also drive on left :ablobcatbongo:
Left is the right side to drive :ablobblewobble:

@mur2501 So driving on the left is like pee. Got it! 😋

@mur2501 in Kerala I see people giving way, at least in my place. The worst I have seen is in Bangalore. The idea is to get ahead of the ambulance. Had literally gotten down to get people to move just so that an ambulance could pass.

@Vishsai
Most of India is kinda like Bangalore and also it's worse in the north compared to the south. From my observation two wheelers are the main causes behind this as well as traffic jams and many other road lawlessness.

@mur2501 Snap! Thailand is the same. No consideration whatsoever! Totally mindless, with no roadcraft and no discipline. They wouldn't think twice in running you off the road if it comes to it. You certainly need your wits about you when driving.

Motorbikes are the worst, closely followed by taxis, buses, & white Toyoto Fortuners. But the absolute pits are expensive car drivers. These morons think they own the road and can do whatever they like! Well, they have an expensive car so they can.

RANT OVER.

@chrism
This is the state of all of South and Southeast Asia.

@mur2501 Sadly I think you are correct. However drivers in Singapore and Japan seem to be quite good actually.

@chrism
I was talking about underdeveloped and developing nations

@chrism I'd have thought people with expensive cars would be more careful. After all, you wouldn't want a dent in your expensive car, would you?
@mur2501

@trinsec
Kind of yes, but also rich people tend be more careless.
@chrism

@trinsec @mur2501 You would think so wouldn't you? In a single word - corruption.
