Hungarian driving

I've commented to some of you about the terrible Hungarian drivers. Here's a newspaper story that confirms it. Since being here I've seen the worst exhibition of driving skills (or lack thereof) in my life. Add to that narrow road riddled with potholes and devoid of shoulders and you have a recipe for disaster.


If I did drive in Hungary, I might consider a Trabant, an old relic of the socialist era. With the potential for fender benders and car theft, this seems like a good option.



The whole mess makes me a bigger fan of taking public transportation in this country, especially trains.

China isn't a stellar country for driving safety either:
