The trick is not to assume anything

If you do that, and think on your feet, then driving in Spain is very easy and relaxing. You react to the cars around you, rather than what you think you should be doing

They are exactly the same here aswell... it is annoying and we have to walk in the road aswell..just have to push past them sometimes.

They are probably just Andalusians who got lost because nobody remembered to program the satnav, and are looking for the nearest bar so they can sit and drink all day, before displaying their machismo and then hiding from the police.

People always go on about the gulf between women and men and nearly always cite the fact that women are paid less... well, if they worked harder and did a better job maybe they would get paid the same!

based on recent experiences with both pedal and motor cyclists, they seem mentally to be at least 100metres ahead, not taking into account anything happening actually around them, causing many near-misses by car/buses by their actions.
it seems to be aggressive competition in which they are the only ones with the rule sheet, the middle finger appears to be permanantly ready for action.

and round here we also have to put up with groups of cyclists out on personal time trials who travel in 2/3 abreast configuration causing tailbacks reminiscent of the Easter caravan exodus in the UK.

Had to smile watching some young girl on the news moaning like hell because her car insurance has shot up because it's now illegal to treat females different from males when it comes to pricing. I thought equality was what they were after?

Sexism is something else I can attribute to the posters on this forum

Really, it seems that some people hate everybody but themselves.

Or do you hate yourself too?

I do think that rule is completely mad. On that basis all insurances should be the same whatever your age or sex.

Have you considered talking to a professional about this? Or your priest?

jimenato

I think he was joking that time but it's a bit difficult to tell sometimes...

bob_bob

Are you joking? Do you actually drive a car?

amideislas

I seriously question that, and a lot of other knowledge mysteriously absent in a lot of the things he's expert in.

It's worth noting that CM lives in Asturias, and many things are different up there. I've only driven a couple of times up there myself, but it did seem a lot more relaxed than in say Valencia or Madrid.
