Portuguese Drivers.
I’ve written before about the fun of driving in Italy… and how insanely aggressive Italian drivers are. I thought for sure I had found the worst drivers in the world yet I was stunned when I started driving in Portugal. Portuguese drivers are the most unpredictable and crazy drivers in the world. Somehow they even beat the Egyptians.
I’ve seen Portuguese drivers stopped in the middle of the highway.
I’ve seen them park on roundabouts.
They use their turn signal to signal when you should move over.
I’ve seen them stop in the middle of the road to let someone out to mail a letter, turn on their blinkers, and wait…
I’ve seen them drive in the middle of two lanes for miles.
That said, they are more random than aggressive. You just don’t know what they are going to do. I do like that I can count on Italians to both be uber aggressive, but are generally good at staying in the lines. Just this week I had two drivers try to side swipe my bike with a random lane change into me.
