This type of behavior is just typical in Malta. In this I mean the driving skills and not the violence.

It can be witnessed nearly every day in every locality that drivers will stop anywhere, double park, leave the motor running, leave the doors wide open, reverse without looking, pull out into oncoming traffic, not indicate, drive too fast or too slow, disregard rules of the roundabouts, send text messages and generally be a danger to themselves and other drivers.

And before anyone tells me: "if you don´t like it here you can go back to your own country"
(a pathetic argument), these are the same comments about other drivers that I hear often from my Maltese friends. I like living here and choose Malta as my home. But why is there such a lack of road and driving discipline?

Common courtesy and common sense are good life skills that should be used by all drivers at all times.
Drive safely all.

Not even a fine your honour? This is truly shameful coming from our courts. No wonder the police are depressed and not doing their full duties.
