I would rather not discuss my parents' death. Let's start with traffic. We Iranian-Americans cannot drive in Iran, especially in Isfahan. There is virtually no regard for traffic laws. They are not considered real cops and no one takes them seriously.
Drivers constantly blow their horns.
Distance between cars is measured by inches not feet. On a two-lane road, you can see up to five cars next to each other at a stop sign. Still, because of the extraordinary driving skills of the average Iranian, a thousand fender-benders per minute are avoided. Traffic tickets are issued regularly and are rather expensive. Disregard for the rights of fellow citizens goes beyond driving.
