Please Drive Slowly when Hungry

I almost got into a car accident with a bus last tuesday, with a mini-van yesterday and with a land cruiser last night. Lately, I noticed that around 2pm to 5 pm, drivers on the road are becoming wreckless. Just a reminder, "Please drive slowly when hungry". It will help us end up to the Eid celebrations with our family rather than ending up at Hamad hospital.

So Scotiabank is gone? Let's here it for the moderators! That guy found me within ten minutes of my first post and it was downhill from there.

Thank goodness, there are still sensible drivers on the road. I must admit, accidents happen even with a full stomach but accidents happen more with an empty one. Defensive driving is of no use if drivers on the road drive carelessly because they are hungry. Driving carefully will not only ensure that we reach our next meal but to know that we come home to our family safe and sound. Again, I am supposedly on another mishap with a car during my drive from umm said to wakra today at 3 pm.

it is better to keep to the slow lane, if you want to avoid these speedsters

Actually, it may be more being tired than hungry. Drowsy driving is known to be as dangerous as drunk driving.

Smoke, we know you are in the "honeymoon" phase but please try concentrating on the road rather than on beautiful wifey while driving :)

I always try to avoid driving at the time of the 'Iftar Run' - The cars can come like a herd of wilderbest.

But please dont drive too slowly just if you know how drive sensibly.

just got off the phone, i called the wife of my officemate they had an accident last night and their car was hit on the driver's side by a speeding SUV on the road between Hyatt and Villagio. My officemate suffered injuries and had bleeding on his left had caused by broken glass. His wife told me the SUV was so fast that they didn't notice it was coming into them. Thank God my officemate didn't have any serious injuries, but half of his face is swollen.
