With each year there are more and more cars in Kiev. Although not everybody can afford to buy a new car, but the closeness to Germany and initiative of auto dealers form other countries helps Ukrainians to buy more used car, which just clog the city’s streets. At the same time it is quite dangerous to drive around, because
1) There are not such things as lines on a road that would divide the traffic. They were one day a long time ago, but with time they were so much wiped out, that now everybody goes as they wish.
2) There are no rules for some of drivers, especially those who drive fashionable and expensive cars. On several occasions I observed a car running on the opposite traffic side, to pass a traffic.
3) There were many cases when one of the side of car accident (doesn’t matter in fault or not) was bitten by the other (especially if the other possesses that beautiful Mercedes or BMW). As you know those cars are not cheap and their owners as a rule are very outraged if there is any damage. Moreover, they know that power is with them, because power is money and they have it.
Don’t want to scary you much about Kiev’s road, but if you drive, drive safely.
