Wow,
I just read your link and, memo to self, forget ever even thinking of
riding a bike in Romania. It sounds like the country is experiencing the
first taste of non-USSR prosperity and everyone wants to show off with a
car. We used to see people in the states who drove a new Cadillac or
other luxury car but lived in a real dump of a house. Maybe after enough
people start getting killed by bad driving or lung problems start going
through the roof people will start to think.
What about pollution control? Do they enforce clean burning cars or just
let the toxic emissions go as the car accumulates mileage?
Sounds bad.
