I would really love to know why Spanish drivers seem have the urge to have their cars with at least one side of the car on the wrong side of the road

Round here you have to use the centre as if you stay to the right there's a chance you'll go down a water gulley or hit a drive that goes over the flood ditch & ends in a 6" upright on the road ! I think they just carry on like this on normal roads. This also explains , round here anyway, why they have their fog-lights on at night, it's so you can see the edge when you have to move over.

It'sjust extremely annoying when they come out of a corner half way on the other side of the road. In the space of two days, I have nearly ended up in a ditch three times avoiding them..... Normally I just shrug it off( I have been driving in some awful places before I moved to Spain) but it's getting to me

Dammit they do it here too, more so since Alonso became succesful at F1, and a hell of a lot more so when Traffico have returned to Tenerife and the wine flows freely.........

Actually it is easily explained. By cutting corners you reduce the distance you travel. Over a period of 100 years you will travel a few miles less and thus save on fuel bills. It's obvious init!
