Safe driving Due to my personal experiences, safe driving is quite important for me, even more when I visit other countries and I have to get used to how local drivers behave in that country. First of all, I am from Spain and I can not say that I am proud of my fellow drivers. I consider many of them as rude, impatient and, sometimes reckless. That is why when I am abroad I like to compare them with local drivers and making my own opinion far from stereotypes. As far as I know, many spaniards say that italian drivers are the most agresive. I agree on the fact that many of them are quite reckless. However, after spending a month in North Italy two years ago, I realiced that after comparing several aspects of driving, they respect more driving rules than Spanish drivers do. Something similar happen in countries such as Czech Republic or Poland. By contrast, my better experiences as a driver have been in Scotland and Estonia. In the first case, I drove for almost 20 days in worst roads than in Spain and the vast majority of drivers were quite respectul with those who were not as quick as them. Besides, I didnt see any reckless overtaking and I saw in other places. That is why, comparing accident casualties figures between United Kingdom and Spain, my country does not end up in a good place. Finally, traveling is a good way to compare how your country could improve by comparing what things are not working in relation which the country visited. Therefore, it could mean something like a vacine against stereotypes and gossips.
