Driving

Multi level highway in center of Caracas Venezuela with national flags

Driving in my country Venezuela is more difficult than driving in Canada because the traffic laws in my country are not respected and people drive as they want, resulting in more accidents on the roads. For example in Canada if you exceed the speed limit you will be fined but in my country it is very unusual for an officer to stop you and fine you for speeding. On the other hand the highways in Canada are in very good condition and those in my country are not in good condition. In Venezuela drivers do not give priority to pedestrians.
