Yeah, my country has worse drivers than Greece (trust me).

Here is how I cross the road in Japan: I wait at a place that I want to cross, but I turn my body away from the road. That way they think I am just standing there and drive past (instead of awkwardly stopping, etc...).

A lot of Japanese people that I've talked to don't have driving licenses. One person specifically said that it was because she was afraid of hurting others. That is quite different from my country's SUV style entitlement.

Haha, yes, I've heard that some places (like Nigeria, I think?) have absolutely horrible drivers. I've never been, though, so I can't tell!
