Warning: Don't Drive in Spain if you're lousy!!

If you're a lousy driver, don't drive in Spain.
If you take ten minutes to park your car, don't drive in Spain.
If you're the type that loves your car so much, where one scratch on the car equals to a slit on the wrist, DON'T EVER THINK OF DRIVING IN SPAIN!!

Why??
Drivers in Spain are much more aggressive. Vehicles are fast and honks are regularly used on the road. If you're slow, take the bus or walk.. Don't drive. But still, in Spain, cars stop for pedestrians... unlike in Malaysia where pedestrians ridiculously stop for cars.

As for the parking skills in Spain, it's like heaven and earth compared to Malaysia...haha.. might exaggerate a little bit but you know what I mean..

PLEASE take note that most vehicles in Spain are manual geared... and they don't have rear sensors for reversing like we do.

Here are a few pictures that speaks a million words...
Firstly, all the cars always park in a straight line. No odd one out, because the pavement width is allocated just enough for its purposes... And look how close they park to the curb.
And they park really close to each other. And if you're a noob driver, I bet you'll sit by the roadside crying while waiting for the other car driver to come.
A head in parking.. How the hell do they even know they have reached the limit before knocking the wall??

And this one, the gap between the front car and back car is pretty close.. Trust me, it's PRETTY CLOSE!! And judging by the way the red car is parked, I'm pretty sure both the blue cars were already there before the red one comes..
Well, let me prove how close it is in front...

TADA!!
Yepp, that's what I mean by PRETTY close.. Right now, my six sense tells me that you have either opened your mouth for a while or have taken a closer look at this picture.
It's so close, that both cars touched each other. Let me emphasise.. touch. Not knocked.. You can see the gentleness of the touching.. haha..

If it's back home, the owner of the car in front would have starved for one week thinking about his or her car.

Then he or she would have gone for a police report... But then again, the authorities will say, "We'll need 7 working days to process and look into the matter." And it never came back so the owner waits until he eventually forgets the matter..Case solved =D

So, do you still wanna drive in Spain?? I know I will because it's driving on the right side of the road.. and that makes me feel like in the movies.
