I think @Vinaya is right, its a myth and if anything, helps the minds of people that use it. Perhaps don't try it just in case... or do try it and let us know! If we don't hear from you we can assume tigers are not scared of masks...

Gecko's aren't poisonous. Big ones might bite if you try and pick them up or something, but the small ones that might crawl into your room are harmless and will actually eat cockroaches and other bugs and spiders.

I would say to err on safeties side and don't drive. There are many other options you can use such as train, bus and the little tuk-tuk things. Although, it might make for a fun trip to get a cheap car and brave the roads. As most others are saying, the road rules seem to be just a guide and not...
