It is the most densely populated Canary Island. Don’t expect the locals to smile at you cheerfully like in Lanzarote, where they are forced to behave that way because they live solely from tourism.
If you rent a car, you will feel their “friendliness” on the roads. You won’t be able to blend in with the locals; car rental companies make sure their stickers are visible from afar.

If you plan to follow the rules, I sympathize in advance and wish you luck. You will be constantly honked at because you will be an obstacle to the locals on the road. Exiting the highway from the third lane is completely normal. Speeding, in their understanding, is encouraged. However, I believe you won’t get lost and will quickly adapt. Lithuanians also know how to drive aggressively if life forces them to.
Various road ruffians will certainly not feel deprived here and will be able to express themselves fully. Since the island is very mountainous, be prepared for many tunnels.
