The first part of this book describes the behaviour of that "special" category of drivers who have diplomatic privileges on the roads of various countries. Some of them drink & drive, some of them are guilty of speeding, and some just don’t like to pay the parking fees. Amazingly, it is often not possible to prosecute them for this, and so the countries where these diplomats reside lose substantial amounts of money on fines alone.
So diplomats of which countries violate the law most often? And diplomats of which countries almost never violate the law? Which countries openly share statistics about foreign diplomats violations, and which countries conceal them? This book answers these questions and includes frank comments from the diplomats themselves that sheds light on the behavior of their colleagues from different countries. You’ll read answers from the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of 22 countries Vatican, Great Britain, Switzerland, Singapore, Poland, Norway, New Zealand, Moldavia, Malaysia, Luxembourg, Lithuania, Liechtenstein, Kazakhstan, Ireland, Georgia, Finland, Denmark, Czech Republic, Croatia, Brazil, Bulgaria, and Armenia. These data have never been published before, and so some of the stories are quite incredible and shocking. At the end you will also be able to clearly see who holds the top spots in law violation amongst the diplomatic corps.
In the second part of the book we will talk about personae non gratae. Usually the motives for declaring someone a persona non grata are this diplomat’s hostility towards the government of the state of residence, interference with its internal affairs, disrespect of its laws, customs etc. Often the phrase “for impermissible activities incompatible with diplomatic status” lurks behind it, which can also mean an espionage charge. Read on to find about about some fascinating details associated with this somewhat unpleasant status.

An experienced diplomat once told me that multilateral diplomacy is a weird shadow theatre.Diplomacy is a weird business. One day you're declaring war and rallying the troops...the next day it's "show me the money."
Diplomacy is a weird skill, and I have a suspicion that most DM intuitively house rule around the nonsensical results it can produce.
Here are some excerpts:
a)“As for drunk driving, this is rather an outrageous violation and everyone will find out about this through mass media. I cannot thing of a single incident hushed up, simply because people like “hot” news regardless of the country. Even if the diplomat is lucky enough to cause no damage to any people, he or she will surely be recalled. When it comes to speeding, I cannot give a specific answer… Sometimes it is a matter of office-related necessity, though such situations are rather infrequent. Failure to pay for parking seems the most complicated issue. Some governments disregard it and charge no fines, while others give parking tickets, which is obviously hopeless. In some countries, diplomatic privileges do not cover parking. As a result, it is the traffic violator and not the diplomatic mission who is to pay...”
b)“The highest number of the recorded offences was caused by the vehicles belonging to the following Embassies: Iran (14), United States (10), Germany (8), China (6), Russia (6), France (6), Belarus (6), Georgia (3), Turkmenistan (3), Greece (2), Italy (1), India (1), Thailand (1), Romania (1) and Bulgaria (1). “
c)“The vehicles belonging to the Embassy of Lebanon, Canada, Norway and Uruguay consulates have not been involved in traffic rules violations.”
d)“There is a single trigger – a sense of permissiveness; a sense of having access to what is inaccessible in any other context. I am not going to tell you what wealthy European country it is, but one of our diplomats told me that they drove drunk occasionally in the evenings because they can.”
e)” The diplomat is human, after all! (Question mark). Not every diplomat is a diplomat (in fact, charity and diplomacy are the best covering activities ever). I graduated from the School of Foreign Military Information... Am I a military journalist, a translator? NO! I don’t think we have the institution of young professional diplomats! Who wants to go to Burundi :) where a new revolution breaks out every month? Everybody knows everybody in those hot countries... Even though I had a lot of useful contacts, I had to spend much time and effort to take root in a prosperous European country...”
f) “The two major traffic violation triggers are impunity in diplomatic missions and drunk driving. When diplomats violate traffic rules, they leave the scene under the protection of their diplomatic mission to mispresent the accident to appear innocent using their contacts.
However, sometimes diplomats take public transport and emergency service lanes to avoid traffic jams (either out of necessity or just feeling reluctant to wait).
In Belgium, the police round up diplomatic traffic violators at weekends).
By the way, sometimes the reason underlying traffic violations is legal and other agencies being reluctant to deal with such offenders. Therefore, to solve this problem it is necessary to review the international standards, which would make appropriate measures to bring violators to justice possible. Specific methods should be adopted for detaining traffic violators should be developed for every country”.
