Parking

In a car park, the foreigner’s car will be the one facing forwards. Even when a car is parked entirely on the pavement or is blocking you in, it will have been reversed there. The logical reason for this could be to make a quick getaway, but that would suggest the kind of foresight which isn’t born out in the general driving style. Lane hopping, red light jumping, ignoring one-way systems if no-one’s looking – Sofians drive as though they hate being in their cars and are desperate to get out of them, rather than taking extra time to reverse park.
