Hey friends,
Yesterday and today morning, my sister and I went out for shopping to several places. The driving has been horrible with several near-crash situations for us. Holidays have started you see and driving is at its worst. Here are some of the things I absolutely hate here:
* People continue to drive through red lights therby blocking the drivers from the side where it is green
* Drivers with cars on zebra crossing at traffic light, in an attempt to be the first in line
* Drivers on the right most lane attempting to make a left turn across four lanes instead of going right or straight
* When lights turn green, you have to honk at them to make a move on
* Guys looking at girls in cars slowing down the traffic behind them
* Four cars with guys in them following some girls in a taxi
* Drivers not observing the rule at round-abouts where the cars inside the round-abouts have the right of way
* Littering-- absolutely annoying when you are driving to see someone throw out pieces of paper of some drink which come flying at your window
* Cars double or triple parked! Aaarrrrrgh!
* Cars parked in such a way where a parking lot for three spaces has been used by one car
* Changing lanes without any indicator lights
* Drivers driver in the middle of two lanes
And the number one thing that annoys me is :
* Pieces of paper (presumably with telephone numbers) flying from one car window to another car window while waiting for light to turn green!
Hey, have you ever noticed how bad the men driver here are (Saudi Arabia also has one of the highest number or deaths from car accidents in the world) and people talk about how women are bad drivers! Hilarious!

the first and only time i've been to ksa was last august, and i thought it was bad here in Sunny Muscat! its chaotic 3eendkoum! i noticed all the things u mentioned but the most one that caught me off guard, on our way to the hotel, just at the round-about, cars inside the roundabout would stop and halt brake for the cars coming in the lanes from the roads! how is that?!
we have very strict road rules here and u get in serious trouble if u don't fallow them. that doesn't mean lack of bad drivers, they are everywhere, both sexes. But maybe implementing stricter road rules and punishment for offenders would make the roads a safer place.
Good Luck on that!
