nice way to spend an hour

[Ally B]

My wife and I spent the best part of an hour at the patisserie at the dolphinless roundabout today. I had a latte and a piece of cheesecake and my wife had a black coffee and a piece of tiramisu,both cakes were lovely. The free entertainment was supplied by the Turkish drivers trying to negotiate the roundabout.It was indeed an education.  The first thing I learnt was if you are a cyclist red traffic lights mean you can just go straight through. The second thing was if you drive a scooter you can drive on any side of the road and don't need a helmet. The third thing was the longer and louder you sound your horn you have right of way. The last thing I learnt was that I will never drive in Turkey. I take my hat off to those of you who do but it is not for me. I don't want to drive about theCalis/Fethiye area with soiled underwear. Keep safe.

Cakes sound fab,I had a nice thin pastry type thingy from there with feta and I think spinach in it..
I have sat on the opposite side of the road to you at the Ametist and watched the same goings on, in the end I said to one of the waitersi cant look anymore and had to resort to covering my eyes at some point!
I too have just never been brave enough to drive in Turkey

We spent a good 6 years driving in Turkey. The hardest part was adapting back when we returned to the UK.

We too have sat and watched the roundabout from the same spot - mesmerised, sometimes horrified and frequently bemused.  We reached the same conclusion about driving in Turkey.

When I drove in Turkey I found the best part was spot the cow being herded across the road late at night. The odd stray horse was also possible particularly in the winter months.

 Daytime was a doddle because you knew the rules were anything is allowed so watch out and were always alert.

One of the things I grew to hate in Turkey was the lack of respect for the rules of the road

Did you notice the design fault on scooters and cars Ally. The lack of working indicators!!!

I always say to Phil, not to blame the Turkish drivers, it is not there fault that the Government does not have them taught to drive properly. 
I also always cringe when I see chlldren standing up in the front and backs of cars.  Yesterday one children was standing up with her head out of the back window.
There should be a programme on Turkish T.V. to show parents what happens to unrestrained children in cars.
