How many times have you slowed down when you see a speedcam and sped up immedeately after you've passed it?<BR/><BR/>How many times have you taken the wrong way when nobody was on the road?<BR/><BR/>How many times have you crossed a red light at late night when there wasn't any traffic?<BR/><BR/>Speaking of bad things happening on roads, someone I knew passed away this weekend on the way back home from a party. Was involved in a major collision on the 5th ring road, God rest her soul!BarryUnohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16479596506392101890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2281697307196742695.post-63812979008571414452008-02-03T13:09:00.000+03:002008-02-03T13:09:00.000+03:00Yeah its quite a shame that we in q8 have the best...Yeah its quite a shame that we in q8 have the best roads and the best of cars and still dont know how to navigate properly.I was in Europe a few months ago and was very surprised to see the way people drive there.They have the best of cars there too(Switzerland) n although they r small compared to the ones in q8 and the roads r not as easy to drive on as here, the people still drive with a lot of patience and consideration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2281697307196742695.post-48331927379801700702008-02-03T11:15:00.000+03:002008-02-03T11:15:00.000+03:00U pretty much have it covered here!

Forget road sense ... there's no civic sense either ... as long as they get a place to park, they don't care that they're taking up two parking spaces ... or in some cases even three!!! :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2281697307196742695.post-50436013837224966922008-02-03T10:07:00.000+03:002008-02-03T10:07:00.000+03:00I know what you mean mate.

Road courtesy just doesn't exist here and I have learnt that instead of being defensive sometimes you have to be an aggressive driver, especially if you need to switch lanes or when you're joining a main road from a bylane.<BR/><BR/>And yes, some of these people especially the women who drive fancy cars are so wrapped up in their tiny pathetic world that they don't even realize that they're being a nuisance on the road. I remember this one time I was getting into the lane approaching the roundabout next to hadi clinic in jabriya. This woman almost came crashing into me on the wrong side of the road and I don't even think she realized she was on the wrong side. Damn shame!BarryUnohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16479596506392101890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2281697307196742695.post-60592544665499681922008-01-31T05:13:00.000+03:002008-01-31T05:13:00.000+03:00Nice post!

LOL @ <I>they're actually the owners of those fancy cars who just have absolutely no dress sense!</I><BR/><BR/>Inconsiderate - hmm I am not sure if some of them even realize that they are being inconsiderate. (Yes, that makes it even worse).<BR/><BR/>The thing is, lack of basic road sense. It's pretty much like those idiots driving at a 100 in the fast track..
