Always have a 2 metre square flag draped over back window, obliterating your rear view,(Mirrors are only for primping heavily gelled hair anyway)!!

under no circumstances let a scooter overtake you.
when going straight on at the roundabout be sure to block the right turn lane if the lights are on red.
do not use indicators.
feel free to pull out of a side road anytime.

Ensure that you injure at least one cyclist each day. If you cannot knock one down by entering a main road from a side road without looking you can be sure to get one by opening your car door at the right moment ( this is the only time you are allowed to check your rear mirror for traffic - see earlier post about hair)

One for the pedestrians
If a car is reversing into a parking spot make sure you walk behind it whilst it is moving!
Don't know about you but it is a standing joke with us if ever you reverse having checked there are no people around one always turns up from somewhere.

Always get in the lane with the fewest cars in.Doesn't matter which way you want to turn.

Always keep the poor devil behind guessing.

When he thinks he knows what you're doing - change your mind.

Never look at another driver, if you can't see him it's not your fault if you hit him.

I asked a friend whether you pass the driving test in Turkey by not crashing the car. He replied 'You can crash the car, but as long as no one has major injuries or dies then you've passed!' :D

At a set of lights, every inch of space must be used at al times.  2 lanes turns into 3 or 4....it's the law, honest ;)

you must overtake just before you turn either right or left. filter lanes are for foriegners to obey only.

When reversing, make sure you do so at approximately 80km/hour, with the palm on 1 hand flat on the steering wheel and the other behind the passenger headrest. Under no circumstances should you have proper control of the steering wheel whilst reversing.
