It is understandable that taxi drivers don't know where to drive or how to drive for that matter. You see the state set up this huge transportation system to accomadate the Asian games which consisted of a lot of buses and taxis however the rapidly expanding city of Doha gobbles up workers faster than they can process the papers, a shortage existed so a lot of people from India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan were brought in to be the drivers of this new armanda of transportation. They did not get much breakin time. Now we have a trainee taxi force who for most purposes are scared Sh__less of driving in the insane traffic of Doha. If you want to see crazy stuff watch the LC drivers bounce along the side of the road on their own made up lane with their kids bouncing up and down and half out the windows at 80 to 100kph. Seat belts, signal lights and mirrors are not essential equipment for drivers out here.
