for a credible fact: check the results with MOI (traffic dept.) whichever nationality/ies have the highest traffic violations recorded this nationality is the worst driver here in Qatar... and whichever nationality/ies have the lowest traffic violation recorded is the BEST driver here in Qatar.

We have nothing to fight here... because in every places there is a better/best and worst...

cheer!!!

You cannot really classify them by nationality. Use stereotypes instead

Lebanese (below 30yrs)

Karwa bus drivers

locals (govt job holders)

locals (non-prestige job holders)

Indians (people in the private transportation)

Karwa bus drivers

All govt truck drivers

It seems to me that the worst drivers are: Canadians, Americans, Scots, Japanese, French, ....

The best drivers are Qataris, Italians, Egyptians, ...

It depends on your definition of good driver, these are some of the things I don't consider "good driving":

Driving slower than the speed limit.

Being scared of the road and police officers

Waiting an hour for the roundabout to "clear".

Defensive driving.

Treating the car as a useful device that gets you from A to B

Hate the way some others drive.

and some of the things I DO consider "good driving":

Driving as fast as possible without getting in any accidents or getting caught by a radar.

You can't pass in front of them.

Offensive driving. (The Best Defense Is a Good Offense)

Enjoy driving the car the way they do.

It's always a good time for a street race.

Eyptians always wake up late,so they are always in hurry and in tension so they drive v bad and harsh are worst

Indians opposite they are v v v slow and v v v bad

Generally it is said in qatar that

if u have Egyptian on back and indian in front u r in hell.

so indians and egyptians are the worst worst and worst.

I agree Indians are not the best drivers atleast we have the lowest death rate on roads inspite on being one one the majority expats...

We dont kill people on the road or make accidents...

We should actually discuss here between reckless driving and good driving....

If we see good driving not rash but safe i dont think indians loose ...

And people love to buy the cars used by an INDIAN cuz its well maintained and safely driven and thas one thing u guys cannot deny we get more money on our cars back thats what we call being smart...

ANd as for pakistanis (the so called )good driver they always drive the old screwed up cars... they dont have anything to loose in it..lol..

Nepalese is also one of the good drivers.. they are used to drive on narrow roads on Himalayas..these days getting licence on Qatar is very easy so beware of new drivers especially indians!!.. yesteray i got out from dasman center to airpot road.. infront of me there was Tida with indian driver.. road was opened/cleared..i saw the back mirror not a single car was coming so i moved forward but that F****g Tida was still there waiting for nothing... i jumped on the break and blowed the horn.... luckily nothing happened.. i don't know why these drivers are afraid to go on the road......

I have gone through almost all posts and I could smell racism in the answers. Come on guys you are all educated guys and why you are promoting racism in 2009? I have seen that some Nationalities are pin pointing a particular Nationality. Dont get that much enthusiastic about your own driving. You might be thinking that you are a very good driver but it is not necessary for another person to think like that.

There is nothing to do with NATION ove here. It compeletely depends on the attutude of the driver.. Whether he b an Indian, Qatari or paki or egy, it compeletly depends on the indivitual hu is driving..

There are good and bad drivers in all Nationalities. If you are a Pakistani you will tell that you are the best and Indians will tell they are the best and Egyptians and Philippinos will never agree that they are bad.

Answer for this question will depend on the Nationality of the person who is answering and I dont think there will be a genuine answer here.

as per my experience:

1. indians

2. qataris

3. egyptians

4. pakistanis

i had much of the worse experiences with these nationalities while i'm driving, especially those drivers who park their vehicles on the sides of roundabouts which i often see are indians, and using road shoulders as third lanes which is very illogical or idiotic! this answer is not being racist, it is a fact.

By GodFather.• 6 Jan 2009 07:29
GodFather.

The problem is most of the countrries that drive on the other side of the road including UK, India Pakistan and all the other commonwealth countries that still drive on the left, do pose a problem when they start driving on the opposite side.

That may explain the Pakistani Indian bad drving. UK I think were OK the master is never wrong.

Qataris do obey any rules so this question does not apply to them there are exempt from every thing here I guess.. Fast lane or slow..

anyone can be a driver! But, its very difficult to be a good driver and to get others admiration. I belive Qataris' are the best!! They are doing sensible driving. Have enough patience and less competitve mind on roads. The drivers from the construction sites are doing the worst driving as per my observation and experience
