Chances are they have also had a tough day at work.

I say let them and donвЂ™t take anything personally. They are more familiar with the roads and may go faster than other vehicles. For them, time on the road is literally money. It is simply good practice to give the vehicles bringing home the proverbial bacon the right of way. (Shutterstock Photo) Let taxis and pros pass

ROAD TO 56 TURKEY DRIVERS

If you simply donвЂ™t feel the conditions are safe enough to pass but others do, then make sure to leave enough space between yourself and the slow vehicle in front of you as drivers behind you may want to overtake you first or both of you at the same time, in which case said vehicle may need a quick escape, which could be right back in front of you! So, if you donвЂ™t slightly slow down, you may find yourself in a close clipping situation with the front side of your car. The only problem is, when the car does pass, it then tends to immediately return to the correct lane a bit early. If a car wants to pass you, they will flash their headlights and possibly honk and you are supposed to turn on your right turn signal to inform the car behind you that you are ready for them to pass. Luckily, the roads are cleverly marked in Turkey, with the dividing line depicting when it is safe to overtake another car by having breaks in the yellow line. One of the most challenging aspects of driving in Turkey for me personally was having to overtake slower cars holding up traffic by veering into the opposing lane when road markings allow. When truly overwhelmed, you can always flash your emergency lights and then suddenly Turkish drivers will make way for you. Never make hand gestures as it is considered insulting and overly aggressive and try to be compassionate as you never know if that impatient car is actually serving a real emergency. While it is hard to understand how willing they seem to be to risk their own and othersвЂ™ lives on the road, chances are they are rushing home after a rough day of contending with traffic. Turks can admittedly be impatient on the road and hot-headed, which is quite contrary to their general disposition.

I recently took the Turkish driving license course and I can tell you that one of the most important points highlighted throughout the training was to remain level-headed and compassionate at all times in a car.
