Warnings Or Dangers: Kiev's Auto Traffic

  • Auto Traffic in Kiev

  • 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.

    Warnings Or Dangers: Danger of beauty
  • Tip Rating:
  • hmmm…. what dangers are in Kiev??? Beware of GIRLS, There are plenty of beautiful ladies you can see in Kiev. They are nice and wonderful, kind and attractive, weak and strong. They draw an attention like flowers’ aroma draw an attention of bees. Protect your neck which can be hurt because of head’s turns following Ukrainian ladies.

    Warnings Or Dangers: Tanks in the city
  • Tip Rating:
  • Walking around Kyiv beware of tanks on the streets :-)) Near this tank you can see artilery and different military stuff.

    But be quiet. They won't shoot, because they are from II world war and from preset time and they are only monuments on the territory of Museum dedicated to II World war.
