You are fortunate NFH, in 11 years I have been in a total of 15 accidents, 2 of which were truely my fault (one rear end at a signal, it was a flashing yellow in my defense :) and another I was the only car, ringing phone in the backseat, R/A ahead... you get the point )

Each and everytime I have been initially blamed, but with a great deal of explanation, drawing diagrams of the incident and having my large aggressive arab husband with me by the graces of God I didnt get blamed for all of them.

Merging into traffic seems to be ilegal here as the police told me in one accudent I should have gone straight and not tried to merge with my signal on. Funny, a signal in Qatar seems to indicate you can turn wherever you like, even if it is turning right when you are in the left lane. Wonder how that works
