I cried on my way back to work!

wtf.

all u people really think he was reckless driver..?

to me. it's totally her mistake. blockin his way.

she said the road had 2 lanes.

and if u went to a good driving school. they will tell u if u wanna stay under speed limit stay on the right lane.

you think this guy bough his Porsche Cayenne to drive it under speed limit. hell no.

i don't know about u guys. but i really hate slow drivers. and they are increasing fast around Qatar in a scary way.

next time honey. stay behind the trucks. ON THE RIGHT SIDE. and don't go left unless u wanna pass them. and do it quick.

amazing stuff, you really believe what you writting,,

then why you live here? dont give me the same broken record of salaries and hard life,,

and for the poll be my guest, sounds like great idea

Le Libano-Marse... said King_Qatar ...

King_Qatar:

Wake up and look around !! do u see Qataris treating others fairly ?? so look in the mirror for a moment ! there is no hate ! there is only a request for justice !!

put up a poll on Qatar living .. asking if ANY expatriate feels safe and fairly treated from Qataris ... wana bet on the result ?????

MONEY MONEY MONEY = NO DAMN RESPECT OF HUMANITY !!

Sorry , Was that your pink KIA?? :-(

Better to avoid risks/driving while you are loaded.

Congratulations, I hope your unborn will come out to see the world as a very fine healthy baby.

Stay safe..:)

.....sorry to hear abt tht!!.........

...well in these kind of situations, i usually changes the position of my rearview mirror (while i know they are watching me)....which gives them an impression tht the person infront of them is a stubborn idiot :oP.....ehehhe.....

______________________________________________

..... why worry and have wrinkles...when u can smile and have dimples :o) ......

Sorry to hear that. That is one of the worst aspect of life here......and it is very unfortunate.

However my advice to you is, in future when that happens (well is bound to happen....isn't it??!).... just try to control yourself......don't increase your speed........take it easy........calm down....... and just drive as normal, and when clear on your RHS, just pull over gently..... Believe me these idiots won't hit you (not intentially anyway!). They just try to bully you ....That is all.

i wonder how many tragic accidents do we need bfr any of these guys ever learn?

le lebano >

real stupid, i never expect such hate,, claims and ignorance..

shows how you should be treated anyways :)

unfortunatly there is nothing we expats can do !!! i mean if i was the husband .. i would beat the SH*t out of this guy !!!!! and then of course get deported !

but what can we do ? if we go to the police nothing is done !

if we take justice in our own hands, we are severly punished !

best thing is wait to get back to you home country and then ENJOY the sweet revenge !!

god has blessed me with 5 nationalities !! plenty of countries to practice my rights in !!

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

You should have anticipated someone doing this to you. You should also ask yourself;Why am I driving on the left lane??? If you are there to pass somebody just move over to the right as soon as possible. Also, just move out of the way or push the car in front of you!!!Lesson?? Don't drive on the left hand lane if you cannot handle someone sitting on you rear bumper. Don't be a pest!!!!!

Sorry to hear this but seriously people if you dont have way to move then just stay put! there's no need to speed up or panic or cry about it. I've done it many time and to hoots to what they are wearing and what speed they are coming at me from behind. Whats he gonna do? I never move for anyone flashing me when i'm at 300 meters from the round about. If i have no where to move i will drive my car at the legal speed of that road. If YOU want u try to over take me from the wrong lane, be by guest if your in a hurry to die!

Sometimes if there are like 5 cars in front of me at the signal and it turns green the person behind starts to hoot and flash his lights to move, wtf?? Twice i just didnt move he kept flashing lol. Or if there's a little gap to go into the next lane they expect u to move close up to the car in front of you to give them way they will flash you, i say F off you wait there like everyone else! :P

So dont be afraid and dont panic you tend to make more mistakes when u panic and thats what u dont need at such a stage and at that speed. Comprende?

Good Fortune always comes knocking at your door...when you are sh*tting in the toilet!! :)

_[]~SMoKE~[]_

Bibo... Be cautious and do not be panic....

Please be very careful out there and don't get upset.

I too had a similar problem with a Nissan Tida this morning :O(

thank you all for your nice posts..

I am emotionally over it today.

Verisimilitude and Lion King: This incident took place close to West Bay Petrol Station, going from Qatar Sports CLub roundabout towards West Bay. I don't know of any hospital in that direction! Besides, the way he drove was not "an emergency attitude", it was rather a reckless terrorizing attitude..

Verisimilitude, yes you are right, after my first accident this month, I lost the courage of being objective and calm while driving... being pregnant and emotional doesn't help either...

Not that I freak out, I sitll manage to be sane in these situations, but I am always scared!

Perhaps he was on real emergency... nevertheless, this is not the way to drive endangering others.... I have noticed similar incidents on these streets...It is the attitude of the people that make them drive recklessly. No respect to other motorists and no respect to pedestrians...

lol verisimilitude :)

sorry! i hope you get over it. and do not develop any sort of phobia, because a superior entity does protect you :)

Hijacker... Bibo got hijacked on the road and now you are hijacking her thread? Shame on you... lets pull over and discuss this by PM ;-)

lol verisimilitude onthe way :) so how s ur vacation ?

Where are the sweets? :-)

yes verisimilitude check my PM

thanks... lot of change on QL though... but some things never change ;-)

you make a valid point... a good driver would not judge a person who is driving fast... the reason being that you really don't know where and why that person is trying to get to...

I remember once I was rushing to get my sister to the hospital... I was at the signal just before Hamad Hospital and this guy was driving really slow! I honked at him and flashed my lights so that he would get a move on... but guess what he did... he stopped his engine in the middle of the road for it...

I am not justifying people driving fast in general and I know that even 99% of the people who drive fast in Qatar could be doing it because they are habitual speeders. My point is, good drivers need to be objective enough to not let the speeders 'get to them' while they are driving. Let the cops worry about them... But we are free to vent our collective frustrations on an online forum like this one...

welcome back :)

I hope dear u fine...Just take care of ur baby n urself:)

I'd like to think the man's wife was having contractions herself and maybe he was rushing to the hospital.

Don't know if that would make bibo feel better or worse.

Salam

you should look at the front when you are driving...

Although you should give heed to a speeding car at the back

if there is no way you can make way for him

you just have to ignore him until you can give way

and until such time, you have to be objective enuff to block him out of your mind

You are not required to give hand signals to the driver behind you while you are driving on the fast lane...

Granted the guy was being a jerk

but the fact that this episode has reduced you to tears also speaks about your sensitivity to drive in testing situations... of which there would be plenty in Doha

Given that this episode has obviously caused you so much mental strain and anguish, I would advise you to stop driving in Doha until your delivery...

i dont think its possible to change the idiots .

its better be careful urself dont take the risk again

avoid driving a little while

take care urself and baby too.

C+U+N+T+S

Worse thing about Qatar in my opinion, I can ignore or tolerate everything else but this.

Actually now I think about it a guy try to do this to me tail gating,then tried to under take, I sped up so he couldn't cut back into the fast lane and what happened ?

He ran out of road and smashed into the back of a bus, no lie !!!!. I jumped out as it sounded like he had hit me, luckily he hadn't but I had to laugh as I saw the very sorry state of the front of his land cruiser.

I have to saw this was probably one of the most satisfying moments I have had so far in Qatar

agree with you exiled ,

but sometimes this is what make them angry

happy , i didn't know that

Sorry to hear about this, these idiots should be slapped in front of all, who put dangers to others.

ALLAH HU AKBAR - GOD IS GREAT

She's pregnant, when a pregnant women is in danger, she fears for her child's life, not for hers, and so she wouldn't ever think of teaching the other driver a lesson.

Salam

I don't object if these people want to commit suicide. I just object when they want to take me with them...

NEXT TIME DON'T GIVE HIM THE WAYYYYYYY

THIS IS WHAT I DOOO

in my heart i say: do you want to pass then pass me on my right.

i am on the maximum speed allowed in this road

one more thing , when he crosses me on my right usually he wave his hand angry

and guess what , this is the funniest part

looool

don't cry next time , you must laugh and make your life eaaaaaaaaasier

If they have a death wish, why can't they go to ---- alone.

Can't understand why they insist on taking an innocent life with them. ???

Priority is your baby. Ignore these idiots.

These people are scum. No other word for it. Their arrogance leads them to believe there is no consequence for their actions.

always kep on praying as you leave the house....

hope and pray that you and your baby have very good health...

Sorry for you dear, may your pragnancy end well

I hope you & your baby are alright

Bibo, so sorry to hear that , but still happy to know that you and the child are safe now. Thank god and Take good care..

---If you can't CONVINCE them, CONFUSE them!!!

When the dirver gets too close to the car bumper, it beats the day light out of me! all I could think of is this an accident about to happen.

Salam

Sorry my dear for a pregnant woman it is so hard ... take it easy ,

Donot do Unto others what u don't want them do unto U!!

sorry for you bibo, you didn't deserve this,

if it was for me, i'd slow down and drive him more crazy

it'd make my day;)

but for you i understand that it's hard

and yeah try to call the police they might give it a "hand"

Yalla!

I'm so relieved you didn't get into an accident and so sorry for you having to go through this ugly experience.

Been there before many times.

Salam

I hope you and the baby are ok now.

If it happens, just get the number and call the police

I believe they will show good response

true thalib01 ;)

I had a run in the other night. I was exiting a friend's compound on a busy road. I turned left onto the road and a car coming from my right sped up.

I had left plenty of room for him, but he felt aggrieved. He sounded his horn then flashed his lights.

I thought it was over, but he FOLLOWED me, close on my tail flashing his lights and sounding his horn for at least 2-3kms.

I just drove steadily, made no signs forhim to stop. I didn't even look in my rear view mirror.

I don't know whether he wanted me to pull over and argue, or just pull over. I was so scared after he finally gave up, I had to pull over and regain my composure.

Have u ever felt,,, step on d brake, eventhought ur not d1 driving d car :) lolz...

We were given: Two hands to hold. To legs to walk. Two eyes to see. Two ears to listen. But why only one heart? Because the other was given to someone else. For us to find.

I thought of it, but I do trust the way I drive.. I would be even more scared to assign someone else!

Well, he might be in a rush to get on the bed....alongwith the lady sitting next to him.

PS:Bad Joke at Wrong Time... :(

Camels Had No Breaks :( I wont blame them.

One summer night, going to the pier,

I ran into two young girls.

The blonde was called Freedom,

The dark one, Enterprise.

you're pissed off too??? LOL!

Dracula congrats for thighest no. of clearance by the mods in a single sentence. * clap * Clap.

I would suggest at least you stay from driving till you deliver the baby. Since this is the second time in a month, you better be careful or arrange some driver.

Thank you for your posts..

Chichi... My baby is fine, but moving and upset lol..

Notnapster and honeybunch, of course I DID flash the right indicator, and my hand too!

@ Rehunbutt: it's easier said than done when you're pregnant and praying to go back home safe!

Thank you all once again, and please take care while driving!

This [Deleted by Mod] driver should be [Deleted by Mod] and put in [Deleted by Mod] to [Deleted by Mod]

Mjamille, are you sure this moron have a tiny bit of brain:P

Sorry to hear about that my dear, hope you feel better now.

______________________________________________________

Driver picks the music - Shotgun shut his cakehole

the best way to show them that you are giving them space to go ahead keep on switching on and off your indicator light...the crazy drivers will, i hope understand that you are trying move out of their way but when someone tail gates you frankly do not give them space and if they touch your vehical its their fault....

if someone wants to impress by speeding cars why dont they take helicopters to travel

I've noticed that Qataris with women next to them usually tend to be more courteous than otherwise.

In such a situation, even if the right lane isn't free, just flash the right indicator lights so that the person knows that you have an intention to give way else it'll drive em nuts.

The guy was probably rushing home to get his brains that he had forgotten to take along with him.

Qatar have one of the highest accidents rate in the world. After 8 years I decided to get out because of things like this happening most of the time, and people things thats normal.

Down in the street... it's unforgiving.

you should never clear the way for these buggers stay calm and do your thing in your own way.

These moron dont understand any thing .Feel very sorry you had to go through this.

he found the wrong way out to emergency hospital...!!!

Mafee Maloom. M**** Mafi!!!

Still good you are safe.

always take care Bibo!

h

this is what happens when you suddenly replace camels with porsche

If dat thing happened wid themm... Police will be in action!

We were given: Two hands to hold. To legs to walk. Two eyes to see. Two ears to listen. But why only one heart? Because the other was given to someone else. For us to find.

to the school girl, these morons never learned.:(.

is you baby ok?

mai lain pa!

Another moron trying to impress his lady..

Glad you're OK

You are not alone.

OMG! Can't imagine,,, But dear stay calm,,,

VERY BAD Take care of you and the baby

sorry to hear that... unfortunately, they don't worry or even think of things like that.. they just sit there and drive with their brains squished on their seats..

stupid idiots driving like animals....

You are yet another victim of the IDIOTS.

Dont cry.....it will not solve your problem...Just pray for them to learn some mannerism.
