NICOSIA (Reuters) - Drivers in Cyprus have been told not to abandon their car in motion, or wave their hands and legs out of car windows.

This prudent piece of advice is given in a new road safety code in the first major revamp of guidelines on driving practices in decades, the Phileleftheros daily reported.

With many known for driving with one hand, children bouncing about unrestrained in the back of vehicles and parking on pavements, the new code also sets out guidelines on how to use the much-loved horn. Beeping will be prohibited in residential areas.

the parking on pavements and the usage of horns could apply here.......................

I often wondered about these 'no beeping in residential area' rules. Does that mean any beeping whatsoever (like a gentle tap to move on the dozy pedestrian)? Or only the excessive, thumb-on-the-horn-till-I-leave-a-permanent-dent-on-the-steering-wheel-esque honking?

They should also ban driving off cliffs - this seems to be a particularly popular pastime in Cyprus. I've also noticed that driving with arms and legs out of windows is a pastime also enjoyed by drunken holidaymakers as they putter down the Paphos club strip...

to be, or not to be, what was the question?

how do they drive around if their legs are out of the window?? don't they need them inside to press on things like the accel/brake pedals????

I am aspiring to be just OK!

Automatic - 1 leg free - and drunk - both arms free

to deter the evil horn blowers the horns should be mounted inside the car next to the ear of the driver ................
