Some observations so far...

1. Speed limits (where they exist) and traffic lane indicators are completely ignored by every driver.

2. Drivers will honk their horn 1 million times to encourage another car to get out of their way before even thinking about applying the brakes.

3. Almost everyone's brakes squeal when they are actually used.

4. Egyptians seems to be very friendly and helpful, everyone that I have spoken to has gone far beyond any request placed upon them.

5. Emission standards and the EPA are great! There is a constant smell of burnt gas/diesel in the air. When you walk near the highways you can literally taste the gas.
