What high speed! Cypriots have no conception of high speeds.

Last year we were driven for dinner while in Italy. Our car, with an Italian driver, was following the leader who knew the way and was in an Audi S8 custom built.

We did 140 all the way. No big deal, but this was 6 feet behind the leader, in the dark, in the rain in the country roads of Marche. I still have nightmares of the drive. Everyone else thought it was nothing out of the ordinary.

Yes ,driving in Cyprus is big problem .
Most of the peoples are not obey the traffic rules We never have respect to pedestrians .
We drive very fast cars ..... Almost everyday we hear that many accidents .... People are dying , getting injured , lots of damages on our cars .....lots of money spending for repairing .....From all we must learn lots of lessons .... why we are getting upset if someone tells are the truth. we must think twice or more .....

have a look at the side of the our roads . We are throwing all our rubbishes .... why don't we keep them in our cars and put them our bins !
we are lazy and selfish ..... but this selfishness of us will spoiling our beautiful country . We must listen what the others are saying for us .... which is true .

we like smoking in the closed areas also we like throwing our cigarette butt into our streets .

lots of things to say about our bad habits and selfish behaviours .

i wouldn't say cyprus is racist (well not most people anyway) but you just have to accept that its an old boys club.
not what you know but who you know.
we have this in the uk as well. it just not so obvious.

I absolutely love Italy and if Cyprus didn't exist that would be my home... teaching at a uni in Milano while taking long drives on the weekends would be great.

I go to Italy often on business and every taxi ride is like a heart stress test!

You are either jerking our chains or you have not traveled much.



Every driver in Italy becomes 'Fabrizio del Monte' once they get behind the wheel, who can blame them ?,

"Must Dash".............Whoooooosh!!. :lol:
