8Don’t be reckless if you’re driving

In Greece, motorcycles and scooters wade in and out of the lanes, rarely, if ever, staying in the lane like cars do. Drivers may fail to use turn signals, there may be excessive pushing of the horn, and there may be speeding and disregard of stop signs.

If you are not used to driving in Greece, all of these elements might terrify you. Greeks generally pay attention even if they are reckless- after all, nobody wants to be in an accident- but it will pay off for you if you drive extremely carefully. Don’t try to drive like a Greek and don’t assume that right of way will guarantee the other cars will respect it. Follow these two rules and you will be okay.
