Red lights

In Colombia I have ran more red lights than I have ever in my life. In fact I think I ran more red lights than green.

There are pros and cons to this extravaganza. Road condition more rough due to unexpected and unearned holes, cracks and uneven road. Very aggressive taxi drivers actually hit me twice. I was so surprised that one taxi driver trying to cross over to my lane during heavy traffic that pushing my leg and passenger's leg with his front bumper and had no problem doing it.

After 10 or 11pm, traffic light become a guideline. Anyone is free to cross red light, you can do it front of police officers.

During the day, delivery motorcyclist run red lights as if they own the license to use traffic lights to their advantage.

There are no stop line for the red light however there are unspoken line which is go as far as you can until you can't see the traffic light anymore.

Pedestrians are expected to run or wait because cars don't stop anywhere.

Yield? What's that? BE AGGRESSIVE BE BE AGGRESSIVE is the Moto. Of course unspoken.

I have seen people taking driver school from the road. However it is questionable how much that they learn because when I obtained my motorcycle license, all I had was medical exam and I got a never expiring "indefinida" license.

Traffic signal happens right before the turn or long before but it's also questionable because people just leave them on and forget about it so I never if they will turn or go straight.

Fancy cars such as BMW, mercedes, Audi and new Hyundai cars are safe to drive near by. They are careful, not aggressive, remind me of moms or middle aged ladies in US.

It is quite common for people to block intersection during traffic for their self advantage to go on their way. Honking is very common.

This is driving in Colombia and Latin America. Corea is quite similar.
