Today you will read about a very interesting fact about car drivers in Russia. Imagine that you are a passenger in a car, and your Russian friend is driving. For example, you need to turn right or left, but your car is in a different lane. Your friend turns on the turn light and waits for one of the other drivers to skip ahead. After your car is in the right lane, your friend presses the parking button and waits for 2-3 winks so that the driver who allowed you to be in front sees this. What does this mean? After all, you are not going to park, but continue driving. Why did you wink at another person? This is how drivers in Russia say thanks to each other. The other person will be happy to know that you are grateful to him for allowing you to change direction and let you go ahead of his car, because to let you do that he needs to stop his car or slow down.
