Hi,

What do you think of the way people drive in Iraq? How different is it from your home country?

Respecting the road safety rules, driving etiquette such as general courtesy, speed excess… what are the characteristics of the driving style in Iraq?

Share with us the difficulties one may face when driving in Iraq: peak hours, road conditions, accident, etc. and your advice to drive safely in the country.

Thank you in advance for participating,

Maximilien

Dear Sir,
There is little or no understanding of driving etiquette in Iraq.  Many drivers have not had training.  Drivers frequently on the wrong side of divided highway.  Cars pull out in front of you without looking.  You simply cannot take your eyes and attention off the road.

Best wishes to you.
