What would you leaders say about having standard international road safety rules?

This nation does not reflect the actual opinions of the poster at all, and this nation should not be taken seriously. At all. It's meant to be an over-the-top parody of dictatorships and oppressive regimes.

  1. We don't have any leaders because we're not very good followers.

  2. Politicians are entitled to their own opinions just like everybody else.

  3. The rest of the world is welcome to abide by our road safety rules if they want to.

  4. The closest thing we have to a road safety rule is, "Try not to bump into anything."

our President would say "I dunno, I'm a talking Lucario what the hell do I know about road safety rules?"
My nation is not like my nation page at all, it contradicts itself, we don't EVER eat kangaroos, that's just very sad. Also vegetarianism is compulsory yet it still says it's the nation's favourite main course and all and stuff.

The imperial territories of Ramsetia are close to enacting a blanket ban on automobiles, as opposed to our current ban on automobiles in city centers.

I ask you, what is the good of having road rules, if there's nobody on the road?

The Triumvirate spokesperson would probably say, "Are you kidding? Our government is barely authorized to set traffic regulations in our own country, let alone decide what's safe in other nations."
Yes, we have a Factbook, for all those odd facts about this bunch of weird aliens.

Meh, that's like asking if we wanted to kill Stephanie Meyer: we'd REALLY FREAKIN' LOVE TO STRANGLE DAT BITSHNEZZ... but that would be violating her human rights and all that nonsense.

Nobody would agree with it, as reasonable as it might be. It's a stupid law to enforce, seeing as how everyone sets their own speed limits. It's boring as a topic, and even if you did pass it, you don't exactly have a way of judging it, seeing as how it's an automobile law... something that is regulated by numbers, which YOU CAN'T JUDGE

We have unlimited speed roads, a lot like the autobahn in Germany
There are not many safety regulations, but we have a decent expressway patrol that deals with troublemakers, which is easy because more people prefer public transit over cars.

Our leader would say - "We've got the Highway Code; why do we need anything else?"
Please note that Mid Lothian is based on fantasy. Any references to anything/one/where that exists is completely coincidential.
Frequently used abbreviations: HoS = Head of State; HoG = Head of Government; ML = Mid Lothian; KSS - Kate Stephens-Smith.
Fancy an embassy in ML? Click me for details. (PS - I'll return the favour.)
I am usually rewriting stuff about Mid Lothian - just because it's true today isn't necessarily true tomorrow.

Warning - Full-time Grammar Nazi at work. You have been warned. (I guess that's due to my mum being an English teacher. Also, don't use masculine words to describe me - my name is Rebecca, which is clearly a feminine name.)

The President and likely all of congress, if asked this particular question, would most likely promptly respond by retrieving their revolvers and blowing the little wise-ass's who asked head off.

No Decepticon would stoop to driving what amounts to an Autobot with his transformation stuck. This makes road rules irrelevant.

Our only basic suggestion is for pedestrians: Try not to dent each other when you walk around. If you do dent someone, get ready for a fight.

What rules? Just go as fast as you can. Of course, people still follow their own unwritten guidelines, and those who don't learn their lessons from the idiots who fly over the barriers at 240 Km/h.

We must ask... what is the rate of death per 1,000 accidents in Sinterior?

Because last year we had a total of 1,607 motor vehicle related deaths... out of a driving population of 4.6% or roughly 499 million drivers. ;)
