Cypriots have a complete disregard for traffic laws – Cyprus Mail

Although a very drastic measure (renouncing her Cypriot citizenship) I do sympathise with the lady. Especially sensitive as she has been abused and bullied over this.

Unfortunately locals habitually disregard the laws especially the traffic laws. When we visit we always find that cars abuse the traffic light symbols either by going on red or slowly creeping forward on red, parking on pavements, across driveways in between parking bays, you name it.

The parking in the middle of 2 parking bays is so common that my wife has named this whenever we see it as ‘Cypriot parking’ .

Sad but true.

Cyprus Residents holding UK Driving Licences.

Some sections of the UK press have been upset because the Spanish Government has stopped UK driving licence holders who are residents of Spain using their UK licences.

This is the same throughout the EU. Once you have been resident for six months you must apply for a local licence. The same applies in Cyprus.
