Road rules!

We've now done almost 3000kms in Europe and it's fair to say that maybe, just maybe, we should have learnt the road rules before we came.
Now after only about 400 near misses we pretty much have it sussed.

1. You must always drive at least 25kms faster than the speed limit.
2. If you turn your hazard lights on you can go anywhere or stop and park anywhere, this includes roundabouts, pedestrian crossings and ramps.
3. If you are turning left you are stuffed coz everyone has the right away except you.
4. Red lights do not mean stop, they mean slow down and go if the orange light is also flashing.
5. Cars can go anywhere a person can go, this includes footpaths, pedestrian crossings and cycle lanes.
6. Bicycles should always be ridden on the footpaths, particualy where-ever there are lots of people.
7. A motor bike is just a motor bicycles and rule 6 applies.
8. The shortest way is never the quickest way and you should just use the Toll road.

Rule 8 has led to a mjor falling out in the ranks. Jeanie (our GPS) has fallen away poorly since we left Paris. She sends us up one way streets and randomly just loses where we are and starts giving false instructions like "turn left now" when there is nothing but the sea to the left.
She is now called Molly and we hate her!
