It Was 2nd In The Eu - Blog Posts

2 years ago

As an Athenian myself, I feel scared too. Like I live near the port of Pireaus as well so during the summer its a fucking nightmare. Nobody deserves a drivers license here-Like I have never felt safe in a car. 

completely random observation/recollection: Italians, specifically the ones living in Rome, were the least likely to follow traffic laws and yet also the least likely to have a wreck. like I'm dead serious, as far as skill goes, the Romans were easily the best drivers I've ever seen. WILDLY reckless and illegal, but in four months no one ever came close to hitting me even when I was being a fucking idiot.

meanwhile I was in Paris for an hour tops when someone nearly killed me as I was using the crosswalk while it was my turn to walk. then I saw a fenderbender happen down the street as one car very very veeeeery slowly tried to parallel park and just like methodically plowed into another car lmaoooo

Berlin's drivers were perfectly courteous and lawful, and never came close to hitting me even when I was being stupid (and they seemed to appreciate my pantomimed apologies, ty). The exception was one dude determined to drive his fucking Lamborghini or whatever it was despite being drunk off his ass; he was deeply offended that the police would take issue with this and was, for some reason, yelling "Do you know who I am?!" in heavily accented and slurred English. I have no idea why English was the chosen language here but I presume he was not local.

The Athenians... they scare me.
