...is a real challenge, especially in a 1.2 litre base model Yaris. The roads are mostly single-carriageway with a wide hard shoulder. The etiquette seems to be to use this to pull on to in order to allow a faster vehicle to pass. This is all very well until three cars of differing speeds find each other, when you often have three abreast across the entire road (I have no idea what happens if someone actually needs the hard shoulder to break down on!)
These unwritten rules get thrown out of the proverbial non-electric windows at night time, when no one seems to move over for anyone. You have to overtake judging how far away the oncoming traffic headlights are. Throw into this the possibility of severe potholes and cattle being on the road around any corner and driving takes on a very high concentration requirement!
Lastly, speed bumps are put onto the roads at schools but there are no signs to warn you of their presence. So you will be travelling at 120km/h quite happily, only to have to slam on the brakes as you notice a set of bumps. Sometimes there are bumps just before a t-junction. What is the point of that? You're about to stop anyway!
