I think many of the drivers on Kosovo roadways received their driver's license from a Cracker Jack box. During my bi-weekly visit to Bondsteel (I hit the PX every other weekend if I can) I witnessed two near misses for a head-on collision, was cut off three times by a driver who failed to have enough room to pass the line of vehicles in front of me, and saw no KPS traffic control points. Honestly, I think the people drive here on sheer luck rather than skill. I already dislike being cut-off by other drivers but when I am cut-off going 80 kms per hour by someone who just doesn't care to check if it is safe to pass and thinks that he can just jump back into the line of traffic if he sees an oncoming vehicle...that just makes my blood boil. To read some more about Kosovo driving, you can check the humorous Kosovo Driver's Handbook :)
One of the more frustrating things about driving in Kosovo is that many of the local and international police just don't care to enforce the laws. In fact too many of them (particularly the KPS) are the ones who are driving like maniacs! Some of my friends have blue lights for their UN vehicles and occasionally use them to pull people over. They joked that I don't get one because I would pull over all the stupid drivers :o)
