OTHER DRIVERS, PEDESTRIANS & ANIMALS
- Expect stray livestock animals, mostly cows and sheep, to rest or walk on any road outside the cities.
- Pedestrians in the cities are also not very trustworthy :) Person crossing a main road in the middle of the night, at the very wrong place, is common.
- Honking is prevalent practice between drivers - so don't be surprised if you hear a lot of beeps and honks and feel free to use one - there are no restrictions concerning that.
- We encourage, to drive slow and carefully. Georgian traffic seems scary at a glance, but your attention and driving skills are determining.
