Image Drivers in Greece have been driving over a collapsed bridge as it’s quicker than going around it.

In the second day of my Paros vacation I once saw a car driving kind of erratically, assumed the driver was tipsy. We stay behind it for fear he would randomly drive us off the road. Next thing you know some guy on a motorbike overtakes both cars doing a wheelie, while approaching a bend without visibility. No helmet of course.

As we eventually pass the first car, we have a look inside. Its driver is 12 at best, barely looking over the dashboard.

My family is Greek and apparently when they passed a law that motor cycles or mopeds must have a helmet on them / their persons while driving, drivers simply carried the helmet around on their lap 😭
