Traffic Lights

I think this topic deserves more attention.

This is the average mentality of drivers in this country, and I have honestly never seen anything like this before anywhere. I don't really understand the thought process of such drivers like our dear OP here, do you go like 'oh there's a law I don't like, let's break it while sticking to the rest of the laws just to annoy the heck out of other drivers!'

I have been in many situations where if I hadn't reacted in a way I would have a deadly accident because of such idiotic drivers, and the question that comes to mind, for what do you do this all? For the most part I would see these people going to a restaurant/cafe/etc where I suppose there's no real urgency in it.

And there's the other thing, breaking one (or more) laws just because you won't get punished for it. If this is how your thought process goes on I think there's a serious problem in this society - considering the fact that everybody (I suppose!) do get their licenses after passing a driving test, however it's slightly insufficient and that might be another reason.

Had to put this out of my mind, cheers!

Edit: Oh and, Master_mas, I'm still waiting for your response @ Qbay in case you didn't notice.

Where did you get the idea that it's a traffic violation to overtake from the right hand side, but not a traffic violation to exceed the speed limit?

It never fails to amaze me when people actually object to having anyone else on the road with them, lol! It's called traffic!

Mandi

right on missteacher

this guy doesnt have any problem with passing the speed limit (MAYBE ITS NOT A TRAFFIC VIOLATION), but its a violation to pass by on the right side.... hehehe WHAT A JERK...

this guy must be one of those idiots who would even flash their lights on ambulances... PATHETIC JERK....

BTW, if you couldnt comprehend my earlier post, it only goes to show how uneducated pea-brain you are...

I was going over the post and saw that yesterday's exchange were quite a bit *Censored*... :o)

The OP were very assertive of his points where there are of course people who do not agree. Somehow, its good of him to come back today and show us the realization of his aggressiveness.

I believe you're a true Gentleman deep inside Master_Mas... and it would be much better for us to see it from you on the Road.

Have a safe driving... your Loveones are waiting for you at home.

Cheers! :o)

If you are willing risk the traffic violation of speeding then why would you bother about the traffic violation of undertaking??

hahaha lol master mas

thanks Rizks. i am fine man.

btw you are a good troll. keep it up.

MM you were agressive in your post from the beginning thats the reason why i had to reply u back in your way- hope you are doing fine today !

Cheers.

u can stick to the traffic rules all you want but you do not have the right to make me drive slow behind you.

if i want to go a lil' faster than you. keeping in mind that passing or over taking cars from the right side is a Traffic Violation and if a traffic police officer sees u doing this u will get a violation.

what options do i have but to flash my lights.

why do you guys take this as an offensive act. think of it as "please let me pass" or "would you please move to the right a bit". if it is safe that is.

i maybe was a lil' aggressive in my posts yesterday coz i was pissed off.

how about those of us who stick to the speed limit (or a bit over the limit) and yet some retard comes behind flashing his lights and smelling our a**. i call this smelling my a**. :) these guys overtake us and when they reach the signal or roundabout then they have no hurry!!!

i have been in this situation on corniche roads (going above speed limit) going towards the theater roundabout....these guys just come up behind you until they fill your rear view mirror and flash their lights...you have no option to get to the right track unless you accelerate more to overtake the car on your right and then you find another retard overtaking from the right...and in the worst case this happens when we are near the radar cam...

People like MM create more chaos on the roads than others who do stick to the traffic rules.

Turbohampster i'm also very interested on MM's comment

"if you are unfortunate and i am flashing my lights behind u. and u refuse to move out of the way. I WILL FORCE YOU OUT OF THE WAY. don't let it get to that and *CENSORED* MOVE."

I do get where the OP is coming from, but in a lot less hostile way. =P

There does need to be some general driving information given to all drivers in this country. I have seen quite a few Land Cruiser drivers that seem to think flashing their high beams at the traffic signal will get it to change. I am not being sarcastic here, but talking about a vehicle at the very front of the traffic queue flashing high beams at a red signal, thinking it will change to green.

This is where the OP has a point about the sensors. I too have been stuck at an intersection while daft drivers are sat a full car's length from the white line and they wonder why they sit so long.

As far as the left lane hoggers, I can sympathise in a way. I have been stuck behind plenty of drivers at 20km under the limit or more. It is illegal to pass these slow vehicles on the right side, so what other choice does one have other than to flash at them to move aside?

As far as driving at the limit and sitting in that lane, I also do not feel is correct road ettiquette. In most countries that lane is referred to as "the passing lane". You use it to get around other vehicles in the slower lanes. You do not drive the entire length of road in it and it is not anyone's job to enforce the limit onto others beside the police force.

Safe traffic is all about the flow. One can argue that someone blocking that lane and slowing multiple vehicle traffic behind causes more danger than to just keep out of the way.

My 2c.

Censored Stare

lol hahaha the unwanted troll of ql disappeared

Master Mas - has someone hacked into your account??? I read a lot of your threads and your opinions on here and this is totally out of character.

Im genuinely suprised at this rant and the subsequent comments that you have made which are frankly bordering on psychotic.

I've always thought that the longer you are on QL the more tolerant, knowledgable and humourous you become - clearly I was very very wrong in your case.

Hahahahaha what a dickhead!!!!!!!

MM yes if this is the case then yes you are right to be angry. But if I am driving faster than the cars on the middle lane & either driving at the speed limit or more then that's when your wrong.

In saying that on my way home I moved out the way of a flashing maniac going about 200kph ......just for u :)

i feel for you...

Master Mas said:

"please if you wanna stick to the speed limit DRIVE ON THE *censored* RIGHT SIDE OF THE *censored* ROAD.

.

if the car behind you Flashes Lights then GET OUT OF THE *censored* WAY"

Please show me where this is in the Driving Rules?

It is exactly this kind of impatient dangerous driving that makes Qatar so dangerous!!

And your previous comment:

"if you are unfortunate and i am flashing my lights behind u. and u refuse to move out of the way. I WILL FORCE YOU OUT OF THE WAY. don't let it get to that and *CENSORED* MOVE"

Just shows how ridiculous your attitude is!

Please tell us how you would force out the way? Hit us with your car oooh great idea.. Kill or injure someone because maybe they delayed you for a few minutes!!! :-0

andyr. don't worry about that.

fine Rizks. i'll just post it here.

Rizks,

you are the biggest troll i've seen in any forum in my life.

do u have to comment on everything. and it is not even related to the subject.

get a life dude. find a hobby.

..

master_mas, next time dont ever PM me with ur garbage....thank you !

I WILL FORCE YOU OUT OF THE WAY.

I'm intrigued. How will you manage to do this?

I agree with you about one thing though, there are 100s, maybe 1000's of people out there just like you; who place no value on their life or the lives of others.

MT.

u people still dont get it. do u?

its not a matter of agreeing or disagreeing with me.

these are the traffic rules.

did you know that over taking cars from the right side is against the law. u must over take from the Left Side.

.

let me put u in my situation. someone driving at 40Kmph on an 80 Kmph road and on the LEFT LANE.

i have to flash my lights on him to move away.

.

lol ppl r commanding what to post or not post its the other way round if u dont like move on

and there are 100s, maybe 1000's of people who disagree with you. If you don't like it don't post on a public forum. You can't say you will basically endanger other peoples life to get past them on the roads and at the end say 'peace all'...unless it was a joke, then its funny as hell.

Mandi, yes, that is true.

Nomerci. there are 100s of me out there. maybe 1000s. i'm sure of that.

MT. that was supposed to be my last post. but it seems u people have nothing to do but to troll here.

Well, yeah, but he does make a good point about the "trip" line at the traffic light.

MAndi

master its difficult for some to understand with censored all over next time post in simple english for them to understand

Master mas, spare yourself and us and please take a taxi from now on. Thank you.

On second thought...take the bus.

Hahaha the funniest and most ironic part about your post MM is 'peace all'

Ok you *Censored* !

i didn't get what rikikulit trying to say. i think that was clear from start.

i think i made my points very clear.

i dont wanna get stuck at traffic lights for 20 mins again. so please get close to the lines and get close to the car in front of you as some traffic lights have 2 sets of ground sensors..

please spread the word regarding this.

.

if you are unfortunate and i am flashing my lights behind u. and u refuse to move out of the way. I WILL FORCE YOU OUT OF THE WAY. don't let it get to that and *CENSORED* MOVE.

.

peace all.

and you are calling other people retards....

You *censored* dont get wat we talking about ?

(sorry to response back in your own way )

what the hell r u guys talking about?

please "CENSORED" your vocabulary....

CENSORED is what they do here at the internet porno sites, that is CENSORED, or as muslim practice calls it "HARAM".

SENSORS are what they put before an intersection, just before those white lines, they serve to sense pressure to activate a traffic light, or at time speed cams.

now, does this info satisfy your "CENSORED" brain?

GET A LIFE! STOP SPEEDING AND END UP IN HOSPITALS WITH THE PRIMARY REASON OF BEING AN IDIOT DRIVER.

MM, I take exception to one of your remarks. "if the car flashing behind you are in a real emergency and they need to be some where," then they need to slow down, take a deep breath and get there safely! Do NOT jeopardize my life because you think you have some pressing matter. If it's that emergent, call an ambulance.

Mandi

Or here is a solution for you that may keep your blood pressure down....stopping driving like a maniac and stick to the speed limit.

What the *censored* is DRIVING 101?

Possibly 101 is your IQ, although I fear that is being mighty generous!

havent anyone thought you manners to talk to anyone ?

lol Snessy. no i do not.

*censored* you Andyr. this is DRIVING 101. if you wanna drive fast take Left Lane, medium speed Mid Lane and slow drivers stay on the Right Lane.

please tell me that u understand that?

andyr ....spot on!!!

I think he must have @snessy or needs to attend anger management.

master_mas: Do you have tourettes?

There only appears to be one RETARD on this thread and he started it!

If I am doing the speed limit in the outside lane then I am perfectly entitled by law to be there. There is no obligation on my part to move out of the way or go faster to assist someone who is breaking the law, especially if this involves endangering my live, the lives of occupants in my vehicle or other road users.

While it is universally accepted in Qatar that flashing ones lights means move out of my way, all it does is annoy me and make me less likely to move.

I am in control of my vehicle and therefore I make decisions based upon speed, road conditions, traffic volume and planning relating to my destination (again I have every right to be in the left hand lane when approaching a roundabout if it is my intention to make a left turn)

Why should some aggressive, unthinking, selfish moron employ bullying tactics just because they have to get to Costa or some other equally non-life threatening appointment?

I have been in this situation many times and I sometimes used to get out of the car and ask the one in front to move his car to the censor line.

for *censored* sake. are you mad. what if the car flashing behind you are in a real emergency and they need to be some where.

if you want to stay at or below speed limit you should drive on the RIGHT side of the road. or at least the MID LANE.

.

i didnt say to drive over the white line. just get real *censored* close to it. if all 3 cars in front dont do this the lights will never go green. i told u i got stuck for 20 mins today. i had to get out of my car, walked all the way to the front and asked them to move lil' forward.

.

Missteacher. i dont wanna be one of those people and say "yes i do *censored* own the road you *censored* *censored*" but i just hate *censored* Idiot retard drivers.

and trust me. you wont get a violation unless the rear wheels cross the line while it is red.

It's not the question of going over the white line. The white line is 1 feet in width. There is a set of sensors before and after the white line. The sensors before the line must be armed with the car's axle by being right over it or beyond. There is further 1 feet between the sensor and the white line which means that you can be well over the sensor without going beyond the white line. I think it cannot get any simpler than this to understand.

I like the way he used the word "censored",,,,

Hahaha....they stay several meters away from the white line. There is a set of sensors before the white line that must be armed. They aren't aware that the road sensors are designed to detect traffic flow as well and can prolong the "green" if traffic flow is heavy. Similary, if the sonsors don't detect axles for a set number of seconds, they turn red. This happens so many times because the "retards" won't drive properly and keep unnecessary distance from the car ahead. Some people take U turns like they are strolling in a park. Others will hold several cars behind them on the 1st lane until some local will flash at them. This is so annoying.

Instead of making the license acquisition more tough, they removed the box parking test and made it easier for the roads to be filled up with non competent drivers.

Ah so we have one of the "I think I own the roads" on QL. You are meant to stick to the speed limit on any lane of the road. I do move out of the way for people like you so that I don't have aggrivation but it is absolutely disgraceful.

THe point about the line is fair enough but if you go over the line it can also be picked up by the speed cameras too so people don't want 6000QR fines I guess.

I would agree with you

Apart from the fact that idiots still flash me to get out of their way when I am stuck behind traffic and its impossible to go faster!

Peep Peep Peep **** Nothing New, lets move ahead ****

moza if u dont understand read twice

when you are the first at Traffic Lights please go forward until you almost hit the white lines.

u r car shld b near to the censor for the signal to turn green

was the censored one in nissan tida or sunny

So you want people to get out of the way so you can break the law? Very strange thing to admit on a public forum

too much 'censored* in ur post !

The board of Censors should act accordingly ! :)

master i can understand ur frustration but what if one does not know to read ur forum he will still do the same
