tons of locals do this - but to say it's almost all locals is rubbish too.
there are plenty of indians and other asians with crap driving skills too.
i don't slow down when this happens to me because you'll just piss the loser off but i don't speed up either. to do such a thing in a roundabout is really stupid. i'm also particularly fond of people who try to pass you on the outside in a roundabout, especially the small ones. real winners!
i don't drive slow by any means, so when i get flashed i know i've got a real turnip behind me. and while a good proportion of the turnips are Qatari (or other GCC arabs), there are plenty of expat drivers in their employers' SUVs or construction guys in their pick ups acting like savages too.
until they put more cops on the street who hand out tickets liberally, this won't improve.
