Old farts driving old Mercs like they're tanks, stopping for nothing, last winter I saw one of these cut up a snow plough
Idiots driving so close behind me I can see what colour their eyes are.
"Must overtake, overtake, overtake, or my penis will fall off."
"Here is my friend Ivan, I must stop in the middle of this busy junction and reminisce about when we were drunk in the kafić this morning."
"One way streets do not apply to me"
"Why should I put my lights on? I can see all the other cars"
"My car is German so I do not have to give way, indicate, obey any speed limit, stop for pedestrian crossing, stick to my side of the road, park sensibly..."
"I can't be bothered to stop and see if anything is coming, I will just pull out."
When I was first here I used to stop at pedestrian crossings and wonder why the people waiting would just stand and stare at me - "what the f... is wrong with you??!" Turns out people being run over by cars overtaking the stopped car is a common occurrence, my wife was nearly killed this way.
Tractors. TRACTORS. Driving at 9kph, spraying mud everywhere, in the middle of the road, with their l/h indicator going. Or at night with no lights on.
Last month Jaska had their "Days of Wine" festival thing, I was coming back from Zagreb about 10:30 at night and as we came into town my wife reminded me that there would probably be police about. As we came past it there were cars driving about everywhere, teenagers running into the road, some with banners (I nearly ran one over), further down the road the car in front stopped without bothering to pull over, the guy got out and started to piss standing next to his car. There were NO police anywhere.
Actually, the amount of times I've come back late along the old high road from Zagreb and I've had some tit behind me, coming really close and backing off again, flashing their lights or leaving it on full beam, swerving about. Ffs I'm not exactly sticking to the speed limits, are you hoping to achieve take off speed? I had one lorry overtake me blasting on his air horns (erm, speed limit is 40, I'm doing 70...) I also had one guy overtake and slam on his brakes and stop so hard he set his hazards off. In my headlights I could see him reach for something in his glove box, then he started getting out of his car and I thought if he's holding a gun he's going under my car. He then got back in and drove off - what the fuuuuuuuuuuck??
And... relax.
