Not every country is the same when it comes to enforcing road laws, either. In Lebanon, for example, road signs and streetlights are traditionally followed, as if they’re merely markers rather than instructions. In some parts of the world the driver has the right of way while on the roundabout, while in others it is the person coming onto the roundabout who has right of way. To people unaccustomed to the latter, it’s befuddling trying to negotiate how to let someone onto a roundabout while staying out of their way, perhaps resulting in the need to go around until you have an “out.”
Driving in a foreign country is generally hair-raising. If you’re lucky, you’ll be on the side of the road you’re used to – driving on the opposite side can be particularly perplexing. There are other factors, too. To non-Europeans, cities in Europe can seem like a never ending series of traffic circles or roundabouts, with perpetual one-way streets taking you nowhere. Large cities anywhere, particularly in North America, seem to be flanked on all sides by highways with too many lanes. Road hazards vary from place to place, with pedestrians taking more liberties crossing busy roads in some cities than others, and livestock, chickens and dogs causing hazards on the roads in the Caribbean or in small, rural towns in Ireland, Scotland and elsewhere.
But, you should be praying for life if you have to drive in certain countries, especially in popular tourist spots such as Malaysia and Thailand. Anyway, could this be related to the 20 Most Depressed and Suicidal Countries in the World? You can go ahead and compare both lists to see if the fact that people are not that satisfied with their life would make them be more distracted and have more car accidents.
