Hello all, We r thinking to move to Gozo but my husband has a job offer in Malta.  Is possible to commute everyday, do many people do it?  Also do many people use scooters in Gozo and how many people r allowed on it?  Thanks in advance

Hi, my former Team Leader from a company where I used to work in Ta Xbiex, has been doing that for few years now. He lives in Gozo and he travels to Ta Xbiex on a daily basis, sometimes by car, other times by bike. Don't ask me how, but he can manage...
With regards to riding a motorbike here in Malta, I have never tried but the stories I hear about it and as mentioned here before, are not very pleasant. Unfortunately, this guy I am talking about now, had a motorbike accident recently and had to stay in the hospital for some time with few broken ribs, not sure how it happened but I think it was on one of the trips either to work or back to his home in Gozo.
I have to say that everyday while I am driving, I see a lot of bikers that push their luck a bit but the biggest danger are the way Maltese drivers use the roads here, they don't have any common sense whatsoever. I get shocked with the amount of stupidity and craziness that I witness on a daily basis, if one doesn't pays a lot of attention on the road and at some of the drivers, accidents will happen...and they do!!! There's hardly one day I don't see a car stopped or smash in the road, some days it's just too much...
