Aussie here: Whilst backpacking through Europe, I found myself behind an American couple, a little bit older than me attempting to purchase a train ticket from a machine at a Paris train station. These particular machines are touch screens and the first option you need to choose is what language you would like the rest of the options to be displayed in. They have clearly defined each language with the country of origin's flag (e.g. German flag for German, French flag for French, Spanish flag for Spanish, etc). After some time had past I asked them if they needed help?
They reply: "We want the screen to be in American but can't find the American flag on the list."
After explaining that there is no such thing as an "American Language" and the language we are using right now to converse with is called the English language and that is represented by "The Union Jack"
They stared at me blankly, with a little bit of disgust on their face, as if I had just used their flag as a napkin.
Me: "you know, the United Kingdom... That flag."
Them: stares blankly*
Me: Sigh* "The first option on the list."
The kicker - after talking to them for a while, I later found out, the girl had been to the UK dozens of times... So she had undoubtedly seen that flag thousands of times and still couldn't solve the puzzle.

Hungarian here, who lives in ireland but let me narrate this video with time stamps.
First a bit about ambulances -
They are usually Mercedes-Benz Sprinters, but are just normal vans without a big box on the back. There used to be a lot of VW T4 Transporters too and older early 2000s Toyota Hiace vans too for ambulances as well from my days anyway. Thing is, there are some narrow streets in Budapest, which this is based in. So some ambulances cannot be too big. Its not Italy type of tight streets but they do get narrow from time to time. All service vehicles have full permission to go on the tram tracks because they are filled in the middle so they can be driven on.
Time stamps
1:28 As far as I know, only UK and Ireland drive on the left in Europe. (I stand corrected, they drive on the left in Malta and Cyprus as well)
1:34 The red bus is called a "Trolley Bus" They are fully electric and get power from built overhead lines. However, some new ones have batteries so they don't need to be hooked all the time.
2:26 This is one of the ring roads around budapest and its going towards the end of it.
3:05 He just turned off the ring road. To the left, you can see a roller coaster that is made fully from wood and it used to be this massive fun fair with a lot of cool rides but it got shut down because the zoo beside it needed more room for animals. Some of the rides are however protected contructions so they just operate as normal while being the part of a zoo.
3:20 Yes, its still the Pest side of the city still because there are two halves, split by the river Danube (or Duna for not english speakers lmao) so you have Buda and Pest but the big city itself is just called Budapest. Now the roads here are SO FUCKING BAD that if you are not careful and have low profile tyres, you easy could buckle the alloy or get a puncture
6:00 the close call was with an old Renault 5, which was the first car my dad had. It was an ex rally car apparantly.
6:15 They are now crossing over to the Buda side of the city, over the river Danube.
7:12 To the left, you are passing an old blue bus. Its an Ikarus 280 and it used to be made and manufactured in Hungary. The company I believe was established in 1895 by this one guy who had a blacksmith workshop.
7:57 This to the left is a more modern Volvo bus. Since Ikarus is not around anymore, most buses are from Volvo, MAN or Mercedes.
Some of the cars that we've seen in this video are but not limited to -
- Late 90s Suzuki Swift hatch and saloon and also the next generation from around 2006. Very popular, cheap and reliable cars, especially the older ones.
-Opel Astra F hatch and estate and Astra G hatch and estae. Opel was very popular in Hungary because it wasa reliable, cheap and German.
-Renault twingo from the late 90s
-Suzuki Vitara from mid 2010s
-Old Toyota Hiace Van from early 2000s or late 90s
-SEAT Ibiza 6L very popular. Also came in Cupra trim which gave you either a PD 1.9tdi 160bhp diesel engine or a 1.8T 20V 180bhp petrol engine. I think it was nicknamed the hitman from Spain because it was an absolutely unreal litte hatch.
-Basically most vans from Ford, Opel, Renault and Peugeot.
-Renault Clio from early 2000s
-Toyota RAV4 from around 2008
-Alfa Romeo 147 and 156
-Opel Corsa B
-Multiple generation from Toyota Avensis
-Multiple Generation of Skoda Superb and Octavia
-Multiple Generation of VW Passat, Golf and Polo (usually older ones because well Hungarian people arent wealthy)
-Renult 5 and Megane Estate from early 2000s
-VW Lupo
-Porsch Panamera
-Audi A7
-BMW 3 series 1990
-Mercedes C-Calss 1994
-Renault Scenic RX4
-Skoda Fabia 6Y
Now I just cherry picked cars I think are not seen in america much or evn ehard of but anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed :)

Let me try to explain at least some of the terms used:
Brake warming - F1 cars use carbon brakes, which work effectively when they're hot (400-1000 degrees celcius), so on the out lap (the lap out of the pits, leading to a hot lap) driver must warm the brakes to this temperature window. Brake warming mode changes brake bias, pressure etc., so the brakes warm up faster. On hot lap you most definitely want to turn this off, otherwise the brakes would overheat and even catch fire in few corners
Strat 2 = quali mode - the engine and the hybrid system (called ERS, Energy Recovery System) turn in the top performance mode. It drains the battery like hell, but gives 100% power avalaible. Needless to say, on quali lap drivers don't care about fuel or enegry consumption, the just want to do a lap as fastest as possible
Brake migration - I'm watching F1 for 28 years, but I don't know what that means, it seems I need to do my research ๐
Brake Balance - that one is easy, it's brake power distribution between front and rear wheels. In heavy braking zones you want to set this bit more to the front, to get most stopping power, but in the medium or high speed corners it's better to set it more to the back, to avoid front wheels locking, or car instability while entering the corner
Strat 1 = charge mode - opposite to Strat 2, sets the hybrid system to not use any power, but to recharge the battery
DRS - Drag Reduction System - F1 cars have a moving part in rear wing, which "opens" the air flow through the wing, allowing to reach better straight line speed, but of course at cost of downforce. There are zones set on every track, where it is allowed to activate it - understandibly on long straights. In qualifying sessions drivers are allowed to use it in every zone without any limitations, during races you have to be less than a second behind driver in front, to use it. There'a a detection point before DRS zones, where the time difference is measured, and if you're close enough, you can use DRS to make the overtake easier
