A couple more from around the world (esp. Paraguay): 1. To drop a passenger off where there is no street parking, just turn on your hazard lights and stop in the middle of the road. 2. In the seconds before a red light turns green, the cars behind you will honk to get you moving. 3. Be prepared for squeegee men at traffic lights who clean your windscreen for coins even if you say no. 4. Most city parking spots are controlled by guys who "take care" of your car while you're away for notes (really your car would be better off without them, they sometimes scratch your car if you don't pay). 5. Asphalt streets have preference over cobble stone. 6. Speed bumps come in all shapes and sizes (and are not always marked). 7. Drove through a pothole? Hey, you should've been looking where you're going. 8. Pedestrian crossings (zebra crossings) have no real significance.
