I live in a country where one of the major rules in driving in my country is keep left and yet I have married a man who comes from a country where when they drive they keep one the right. We have been married for two years and he still has not gotten used to driving in my country, in fact, he detests the idea. He only drives when I cannot drive and when there is an emergency, the other times he takes the subway or the bus. The other night, we were watching late night news and they featured a foreigner who was caught with a fake uk driving licence. My husband could not understand why someone would go to the extent of getting a fake driving license so that they ca drive. He says that the roads are so narrow, there are parking spots by the road sides, making the road even narrower and thus causing traffic. As you can see, he is an ethnocentric attitude thinking that his culture is better than other cultures. He had to move to this other side because of work and me of course. That night, he said that even if they held a gun to his head, he would never get a fake driving license of a country which his driving experience is like a nightmare he never wakes up from.
