It took a while but we finally understand what the white lines on single carriageways mean.
The standard broken white lines means " Please attempt to stay on your side". And as a rule people do.
However the solid unbroken white line we associate with "do not cross " and "no overtaking " actually means "place your steering wheel firmly over this line and follow it resolutely with part of your car in the next carriageway ".
This rule is adapted slightly in left hand bends. Here it now reads "At all times while on a left hand bend, you must have at least two thirds of your car in the opposite carriageway. When an on coming vehicle flashes its lights and makes gesticulations, look all offended and suggest you were in the right. "
A sub paragraph of the rule states " When negotiating a right hand bend, and a vehicle is on your side of the road , flash your lights and gesticulate in a manner indicating you have never seen such crazy behaviour ".
Apart from that it is pretty normal for a hot country.
Ah, no, then there are roundabouts, the same rule as the UK applies "give way to the vehicle on the roundabout " except they have added "unless you don't feel like it, or in this town you do things your way "
Got it! You don't say where you are ...
