US Consulate personnel drive in special vehicles, but you'll see every manner of a car on the road here. Rarely does a traffic light seem to work, and wide roads are limited (and generally lane-less). Many locals have drivers all the time - who wait roadside for their employers to finish at an establishment. Accidents are common, motorcycles (with multiple passengers - 3 or 4 people on one moto is not uncommon) are everywhere too. - Jun 2014
