No more right turn at red light by JenneSaisQuoi
So there is this new law supposedly taken effect several months ago. You can no longer make a right turn while the light is red. Except if you see a green bicycle light with the right turn arrow then you may proceed. Talk about the dumbness of their ...
These traffic pigs are too no where to be found when it rains. People here ride like maniacs when it's wet and slippery. I guess no one cares for the law of physics here. Read More

Thoughts on Off Topic Posts by 70 years old

You two should get a room. I find this website quite intriguing when it comes to rules. So far there's no other active expat forums out there so everyone flocks to this site. Instead of welcoming people with open arms, I find the mods here acted ... Read More
