So I think the Egyptian standard of driving is completely understandable, mad, but understandable. I just used to show my provisional licence and smile sweetly.

I was talking to one of my Egyptian friends this week and he told me his wife was taking her test shortly. He has been giving her lessons (his ability to drive is questionable), she has never had any proffessional help at all and the test is to drive through 3 cones and give the examiner 100le and within 10 minutes she will have a licence. I think driving through 3 cones is a waste of time which would be better spent on being tested on how to use the horn.
