There is no such thing in Israel as "defensive driving." It's all offensive (in every sense of the word ;-)<br />
We're coming for another visit, next week, actually. And my husband is gonna drive!</p>SaraK commented on 'Conditional Permission?

You need to keep 7 eyes on the road in Israel!</p>Kurt commented on 'Conditional Permission?

For me it is no stress at all - I'm watching the strange activities on Israels roads in awe.</p>

<p>I watched yesterday's video (in fact, I've watched it 3 times -- twice yesterday and again this morning) so I know there's physically no way for an auto to make a 3 point turn on those tight Jerusalem streets (in America, you might recall, we call those sidewalks!). </p>
<p>I need visual proof please. How about you strap on the scooter helmet cam again and show us these steets wide enough for said turns? And, please, turn off the cam later -- I don't need visual proof of the pioneer's effluence!</p>Mark commented on 'Conditional Permission?

<p>There are a few other places in the world in which this rule applies, for example, in Naples, Italy. And denizens of certain parts of NY (mostly places in Brooklyn such as Boro Park and Flatbush) have taken the assertion of constant right of way to an art form on par or greater than that of Israel.</p>
