Akrapovic Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) In the United States and some European countries, fines are paid immediately. In Colombia, he has made a career that you have probably heard and perhaps used at some time: "He who drives in Bogotá, drives anywhere in the world." A 'colombianada' more than many, like that of "we have the second most beautiful hymn in the world after La Marseillaise." In this case, in 2012, the British newspaper The Telegraph, we 'down the line' to put our national anthem among the 10 worst on the planet. If you are one of those who still think that 'the one who drives in Bogotá, drives anywhere in the world', we invite you to answer this questionnaire. In addition, to take into account some details that many here do not know. For example, do you know how to handle an automatic box? This is important because abroad most of the rental cars come with these boxes and in Colombia there are many people who prefer 'mechanics' or have never driven with this type of transmission. Another fact, do you know how to move and at what speed on highways with more than two lanes different from our 'double lanes'? Now, if you are a driver of light vehicles, answer the following questions: Are you one of those who when the driver in front puts the directional to indicate the change of lane, immediately accelerates and does not let it pass? Yes__ No__ On Occasions__ When the traffic light is changing from green to red and it is in yellow, do you accelerate to catch up? Yes__ No__ On Occasions__ When the light is green, but there is not enough space for you not to interfere at the intersection, do you pass?

Yes__ No__ On Occasions___ When you take an exit and reach the acceleration zone, do you want to enter the traffic at once without going to the end of it? Yes__ No__ On Occasions___ When you are going to turn left, do you double row to earn a time? Yes__ No__ On Occasions__ When you are in a traffic jam, are you changing lanes because the one on the side moves faster than the one you were in? Yes__ No__ On Occasions__ When there is an accident, do you allow the vehicles that are in the accident lane to pass in one by one to speed up the passage? Yes__ No__ On Occasions__ When you are going to leave a road or take an ear, do you always go in the left lane to go first? Yes__ No__ On Occasions__ When it goes in transit, does it never maintain speed or move at a faster or slower speed than other vehicles? Yes__ No__ On Occasions__ When you are going to overtake, do you always do it in the left lane? Yes__ No__ On Occasions__ When the driver on the side has stopped so as not to block an intersection, do you pass and take the neighbor's station, no matter what is left at the intersection? Yes__ No__ On Occasions__ When you leave your house, have you not identified the best route to reach your destination, despite having a mobile phone where you have an application to do so and this is why at the last minute take the street that is most unoccupied?
