Maybe Finland isn't as car-centric a culture then because that was something my dad taught me from an early age. Not sure that everyone knows it, but there are a lot of driving laws here (changing lanes in intersections or over solid lines for example) that people here don't know. For those that do know it, I feel it's more obvious and visible, and, for those that don't, not seeing it is not likely to cause an accident unless they are trying to pass me on the inside (something very unlikely given how I ride).
