I spend lots of time on the roads myself, and let me tell you, it's hair raising, especially in my neighborhood.
There's lots of African foreign nationals here and I don't understand how they drive. I'm not trying to single any groups out here, but it's as if a different set of rules apply. I guess it has to do with how they've been taught... not stopping at stop signs is a big one here. Sometimes at speeds that if someone coming from another intersection had to do the same, it will be a full on collision.
With that being said, there are the speedsters. Demographics generally play a role here too. Ugh, the things I've seen.
Based in South Africa btw
Hair raising...yep indeed.
We have a similar issue with immigrants here; they seem to work to different standards and seem incapable of following the basic rules of the road (and las in general). I'm not singling them out, there's loads of fucktards on the road, but one seems to spend a lot of time working to avoid those types, and the need for hypervigilance is required. Takes the fun out of driving.
It's all about disconcerting and interestingly all of the comments on this post pretty much say the same thing so I guess it's an global issue...one that won't improve. Us Aussies and you Saffers are not exempt from the nutbaggery.
