Driving in RUSSIA

When I first came to New Zealand,driving on the left side of the road was unusual for me, because in Russia we drive on the opposite side. In my country you can get the driving licence only if you are 18 years old or above. Also in Russia there is only one type of licence and it is very hard to get, because we have more road signes and more complicated traffic-control-system at the intersections. In fact, in my country we have plenty of free parking everywhere, which is really comfortable when you have things to do in town.
Unfortunately, in most of the country roads are not in a perfect condition. Considering the cities the roads in the living areas, for example inside the blocks, have enormous amount of holes and curved surfaces. When it comes to driving, people are getting rude. For instance, nobody would conced in giving way for others. Most Russian people are not really bother about speed limits,because the prises for fines are not so high, therefore we have a lot of hoons in the streets.
As you can see, NZ driving in comparison with Russian driving is comletely different. In terms of, roads, parking, way of driving and rules.
