Somehow just stumbled onto this and found it.. hilarious to say the least! NO idea what is was all about and not sure who's right in all that mess.. but really wonder who the Foreign Guy is!! Not sure he's behave like that in his own country. Ok Maltese driving is not exactly perfect, but man.. that is WAY over the top

Any experiences? And don't tell me you went down to challenge someone for a fight in the middle of the road !!

Enjoy

The episode is from quite some time ago and is more about American driving habits!

It led to an American minor diplomat in a big embassy car being sent back to where he came from -)))

If that is called diplomacy then the guy in the video is probably Ambassador somewhere in the world. In Malta he wasn't !

It is a scene from a very narrow section of Im-Rabat Street in St. Julians. Somehow it always works if you are diplomatic and give and let -)))

If you look at the video you can see that the Maltese driver had plenty of room to pass but chose to drive in the middle of the road.
The Maltese have no idea regarding road positioning and will always try to bully their way through.
It can be very frustrating at times but the American guy just let it get to him.
