We are not alone!

Yes!
When it comes to Traffic Sense/Lane discipline, we are not as 'unique' as we all would like to think.

Please welcome Egypt to our brotherhood!

Here's why!

Over all, the Egyptian system seems to function on three basic principles: Every
man for himself; when necessary, offer a little baksheesh (cash); and accept
that money and connections go first.

And this too!
This is exactly what happens in here, Isn't it?!

But people here say drivers’ lawless nature is not without a reason. These same
traffic police officers assigned to make traffic move are also ordered to make
traffic stop. They close the streets so Mr. Important does not have to tolerate
the indignity of traffic. That makes people mad.
That sense of injustice,
felt by the common man stuck for hours in deadlocked traffic, fuels disregard
for the law in general, people said.
