@tweety, I agree! I hate that. I see that alot in Dubai especially.
That side road is for EMERGENCIES, yet people think it's a ticket to cut in line.
You know what I don't understand, (this happens to me), when you're in a lane. There's FULL traffic, no space to turn or whatever, and a guy behind you (in my case it's always looks like a personal driver) flashes you.
Once I got so pissed off, so I got out of the car and walked up to the guy and said. "Is there a problem? Why are you flashing me?" (I said it in a friendly way, I thought he was warning me). He said "no. it's my habbit". what?....
I also hate it when people honk their horn the very split second that the light turns green! Not even 1 second chnce to put your car in gear! Happens the most in Kuwait or Bahrain though. Doesn't happen to me much in Qatar, but when it does it really annoys me.
Oh you'll sometimes get this guy flashing you because he wants to drive 40km over the limit but there's a camera in front of you. So you move out the way, and the second he passes you, he drops down to 80... did we do anything? Sadly not... Some european looking person did it to me today :P
Despite these quirks, I still feel safer here than on the M25 in England :P
Note: these instances happen to me like once or twice a month, it's not a regular thing
