There'll be a bad one at the Alsaancak roundabout soon too, cars just hare down the slope not slowing for anything on the roundabout coming from the coast road. Its a badly sited roundabout, drivers dont need to "swing" round it, just go straight past it. I gather there have been some bumps but nothing too drastic - YET!

John you are not so Good are you. That's the second post I've read where you attack TCs in few seconds. Considering you live in TCstan I would seek some help if I was you.

John your comments are racists and insulting, you have only been a member on here for two weeks and reading though your posts nearly every one is either rude or or negative towards TC as a race or insulting to the poster. Have you meet all TC?, are TC the only people to crash cars in NC? is there only animal cruelity in NC?. I don;t normally ask this question, But WHY are you HERE?

And before you ask what do I know about NC, I have lived here for 15 years, I am married to a TC, My Children are TC, as well as my the rest of my extended TC family. And i love living Here.

I am sorry for Hijacking this thread.

Considering the fact that there is at least 3 mainland Turk to every TC you see on the road, i suggest you stop branding everyone you see in north Cyprus as TC!!

john good. you been here 7 years and this is the first time you have used the forum! of course, how many names have you got on here,would jilly juggs also be 1 of your names, i think you have a few names on cyp44, and im sure to hell if admins know they should make sure you only use 1,like they do to others on here.



message 12.

your a visitor,if you dont like how you say you are treated,sling your hook back to the hole you came from,i wonder why you get treated the way you say , is it because a bad attitude causes a bad attitude,look how i was towards you in some of my previous posts, as i said, a bad attitude towards others mirrors the same attitude towards yourself.

Changing the subject back to the bypass---- i think the stone work and craftmanship that has gone into building this section is amazing and i dont think anyone can deny it is a credit to the builders and all people of the TRNC

Let's be fair it took for ever to lay that short stretch of road and who paid for it?

Also, travelled the world and seldom seen such bad and inconsiderate drivers, most have no powers of anticipation and only react late to what they can actualy see, no wonder so many get creamed.

Don't know their nationality because I am too busy avoiding a crash to check.

John, you seem to think that only the English have problems living here and that would be because you abivously do not mix with many TC.

My husband and I (As TC) have bought an apt that we can't get deeds to, we have had TC, Turks, and English rent our property and not pay rent/won't leave/ and have left us with bills. Our business has had more stress then most, as many on here who know me will remember. But I do not Blame the Turkish Cypriot people as a whole, I have a problem with the builder, the family renting my property, certain govt depts.

Over the years I have meet some real plonkers that are English, Seen some really awful fights between English Lads and Heard some really nasty comments made by the English. But NEVER have I thought or said that All the English are the same.

As Zero said if you have been living here for 7 years I would find it very hard to believe that someone with as many oppions as you would have only just joined 44.

DeaconB,

I would be interested to know which countries you are referring to in your travels, you see I have also travelled the world, pretty much all of my life and ever since I past my driving test have driven in almost every country I have been in and I can honestly say that the standard or lack of standards in North Cyprus would not even be in my top ten bad countries list.

Ironically enough, the british tend to blame every other countries drivers because they are taught to drive with courtesy, learn to drive defencively and you will see a much better chance of incident free driving.



This is only my belief but I would point out that in the last 10 years of driving in some very bad countries I have only been in 2 accidents, one where the driver reversed into my parked car in a super market car park and one where I side swiped the rear end of a hostile driver but that was true defence and needs specialised training.

Remember, if you walk away it was a good crash.

i think that full credit should be given to the constructors of the new by pass for their level and quality of work



however

i do not believe that the quality of driving here merits such a road, people drive far tokl fast, do not understand road etiquette etc an d i think we will see some very serioius accidents on this road

this is not a racist posting, poor driving out here applies to many nationalities

John.. Do you know the exact cause of the accident ? Are you sure they were Turkish Cypriots ? I as a TC am seriously offended by your comments...



You obviously have some hatred towards TC's to actually want to post in such a racist way, maybe you should consider going back to where you have come from... Yobs are not welcome here and will not be tolerated !!

I agree with Mamachina - hubby and I say the same. I nearly overshot one night coming back from Kyrenia on the old road and nealry went straight on to the wrong side of the road. I am double careful now and won't make the same mistake, but it is the lack of lighting and signs - and who knows, that may well be rectified before long.



As to the standard of driving, I have been told by friends when I go back to where I lived before that my standard of driving has deteriorated. But as I sai,d if I did not drive the same as others, I would probably still be waiting to pull out of a side turning. and no, Ihaven't had any accidents.



There are good and bad in every race, as my dear old mother used to say, and that goes for the drivers as well. Fortunately out roads are less crowded thanothers, so bad driving does not cause the accidents it would elsewhere in the world.

if you dont like the way you are treated in the trnc, then go back to the UK - nobody is forcing you to stay here.

stop complaining. if you dont like it then you know what to do.

When I go back to the UK for a visit, I find it takes me a while to get back up to speed... I think driving here is actually a wake-up call. You have to maintain very high levels of concentration to avoid the wacky racers.

If you think the driving's bad here, you need to visit Sri Lanka. Now that's an experience

in itself.

I promised myself on return that I would never again complain about the driving on our 'roads'.

They have had enough time to plan\design\construct a decent by-pass and all they seem to have done is created an 10km accident black spot.

Will not go anywhere near it....much too dangerous.

Have read all the 43 posts on the subject of bad driving, bad roads and all the other posts which did not talk about driving been here year and a half and yes the driving is bad nobody knows the causes of the accidents

in the TRNC but drink has to be top of the list, not being taught how to read a road is another problem. Do allot of driving and iv came to the conclusion its the shape of the junctions that cause allot of the problem

if you notice most Turkish cyprites do not go to a junction at 90degree they go at all angles and make it harder to see whats coming but its the way the junction is made out thats to blame if the people who build the roads put more thought into safty, they have to know what is the biggest cause of accidents but do they

change the road layout no chance even the police dont break sweat trying to stop the drink driving never see a cop car after tea time sorry get one with its lights on once in a blue moon. I love it hear wish the death rate was 0

The main problem here is not drink driving it's "cars that lose control" usually but unfortunately not always on empty roads. In other words speed and lack of road awareness combined with sheer stupidity.



When proger says north Africa he's wrong when account is taken on car ownership by %age of population.



As for the driving test, let's not go there.
