Driving here also feels a lot safer than being driven, though you need more pairs of eyes than ­nature intended. Virtually no one bothers to indicate, unless for ­manoeuvres already completed. Pulling out from side streets, forcing oncoming vehicles to brake, is de rigueur. Each lane of the highway is seen as a legitimate one from which to turn left, even if it means cutting up two lines of traffic heading straight on. Lunatics tear up behind you, lights flashing, intent on barging you out of their way. And weaving aggressively in and out of lanes is so commonplace that you feel it’s compulsory.
