Basic rules for driving in Israel
קצת נדוש, נכון, אבל לפחות אמיתי (ולא בסגנון של "קיבלתי במייל שהמקור שלו הוא התלמיד ה72 של הדאלאי לאמה עצמו! זה אמיתי!")
חברה של חבר שלי, אחרי כחצי שנה בארץ סיפרה לו על חוקי הנהיגה הנהוגים בארץ כפי שהיא רואה אותם, כמובן
BASIC RULES FOR DRIVING IN ISRAEL
1. Turn signals will give away your next move. A real
Israeli driver never uses them.
2. Under no circumstance should you leave a safe
distance between you and the car in front of you,
or the space will be filled in by somebody else,
putting you in an even more dangerous situation.
3. The faster you drive through a red light, the
smaller the chance you have of getting hit.
4. Never ever come to a complete stop at a stop sign.
No one expects it and it will result in you being
rear-ended.
5. Never get in the way of an older car that needs
extensive bodywork, as the other guy doesn't have
anything to lose.
6. Braking is to be done as hard and late as possible
to ensure that your ABS kicks in, giving a nice,
relaxing foot massage as the brake pedal pulsates. For
those of you without ABS, it's a chance to stretch
your legs.
7. Never pass on the left when you can pass on the
right. It's a good way to scare people entering the
highway.
8. Speed limits are arbitrary figures, given only as a
suggestion and are apparently not enforceable in
Israel during rush hour.
9. Just because you're in the left lane and have no
room to speed up or move over doesn't mean that an
Israeli driver flashing his high beams behind you
doesn't think he can go faster in your spot.
10. Always slow down and rubberneck when you see an
accident or even someone changing a tire.
11. Learn to swerve abruptly. Israel is the home of
the high-speed slalom driving thanks to the Highway
Department which puts potholes in key locations to
test drivers' reflexes and keep them on their toes.
12. It is traditional in Israel to honk your horn at
cars that don't move the instant the light turns
green.
13. Remember that the goal of every Israeli is to get
there first by whatever means necessary.
14. In Israel, shouting at the other driver and
ignoring his reply is considered a common greeting.
This gesture should always be returned.
15. The reason for the black and white stripes at
crosswalks in Israel is to remind pedestrians that
their function is exactly the same as that of a front
sight on a rifle.
