Driving

Greece suffers Europe's worst accident rate in terms of the number of collisions per vehicle. Red traffic lights are often ignored, and other driving habits are typically dangerous. These facts stem from understandable frustrations due to terrible congestions, narrow roads and lack of parking space. Nevertheless traffic lights are generally observed. Short of refering to the typical driving as unreasonable, let's term it offensive but, given the context, reasonably so.

The minimum age of a driver is 18 years. Children must be at least 10 years of age to sit in the front seat. The use of seat belts is compulsory for front-seat passengers. The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.05 percent. Speed limits are as follows: 50 km/h (30 mph) for cars and 40 km/h (25 mph) for motorcycles in built-up areas, 110 km/h (68 mph) for cars and 70 km/h (44 mph) for motorcycles outside built-up areas, and 120 km/h (75 mph) for cars and 90 km/h (56 mph) for motorcycles on expressways.

Some roads are three lanes wide: the middle lane is used for passing in both directions. If there is little room to pass on the road, fast drivers expect slow drivers to pull onto the shoulder in order to let them by. On narrow roads in the countryside drivers must constantly be on the lookout for oncoming, passing vehicles.
