I dont know if I would classify this an an idiotic driver. If you leave enough space between you and the car in front of you there shouldnt be much of a problem.

Also, as QS said it could have been a cat, dog or even a child. We all need to keep this in mind when driving. If everyone was wearing a seatbelt, the kiddies are fastened in, you are paying attention to the road and adhering to the speed limit you should fair out alright.

Defensive driving is extremely important anywhere in the world, Qatar is no different. The indication that someone is breaking is their breaklights :).
