Maybe I should ask Sotos to set up a poll to see how much people drive - or rather how far do people drive.

When I worked in another country, I used to drive up to 65,000km a year; in Cyprus I do maybe no more than 25,000km; today I am driving Pafos-Nicosia-Larnaca-Pafos but the motorways seem very quiet whenever I use them.

I know Pumpernickle doesn't like driving here (or football, or going to the cinema, LOL) but what about everyone else?

Not asking about driving standards; we know all about them !

I drive about 30.000 km / year and it gets boring to see the same places all the time.

You mean you don't know how to make polls? I drive about 20.000Km per year. Cyprus is small and my work is close by.

I drive about 20000km + with the company car and at least 15,000 with my private car, though it happened that I reached once the 20,000 mark... Indeed our motorways are not long enough to enjoy them, but they are sometimes boring especially driving Limassol to Pafos or Larnaka - Ayia Napa. I prefer twisty roads to be honest.... more fun..

Even driving on the wrong side of the road LOL, I enjoy the motorways there. Not boring at all.

Even here in the US I don't put more than 10,000 miles a year. 16K kilometers total on all cars per year.

In the past 2.5 years I've done 250,000 kms, including 50,000kms of enjoyment on my motorcycle(s).
The highways are sooooo boring but they are anywhere in the world.

When I come to Cyprus I drive, and find it very pleasant and stress-free. The empty motorways are bliss compared with the clogged arteries of the UK's road network.

[Mikros]

Well, gordon, sometimes they are not THAT empty, and you have to drive at 60 - 80 km/h only.

Hello !

I m from Paris, I m use to drive on the french motorways (45 000km half paris / half motorways),
I drived, i think 15000km on the cyrus motorways the past 3 years.

I think its so nice, especially the morning about 7oclock.

I m use to go working every morning at 30/50 km/h during 50km its so boring !
But i think the traffic in lefkosia is huge for a big village !! If you compare to geneva in swiss for example.
