Cyprus by car
Car hire is the easiest (but the most expensive) way to get around the island. Cypriots drive on the left side of the road, in keeping with British and British Commonwealth practice. However, driving standards are poor. Drivers attack their art with an equal mix of aggressiveness and incompetence and view road rules as mere guidelines. Some main roads do not even have road markings and people often sound their horn, especially in Nicosia. Take care when crossing the roads, and even greater care when driving on them.
Even in hot weather it is advisable to keep the drivers window of the car closed. This is because truck drivers often flick lit cigarette ends out of their windows. Although a long time has elapsed since the event the writer was warned of the danger. (a motorist was killed when he lost control after a lit cigarette end went in his eye)
