For years, cars in North Korea were limited to military officials or high-ranking party members only. But in recent years, vehicles have become more common in certain areas, which has been something of a learning curve for many North Koreans who have never driven in their lives. Lafforgue said, “ As cars have become more widespread in Pyongyang, the peasants are still getting accustomed to seeing them. Kids play in the middle of the main avenues just like before when there were no cars in sight .”
