One time, I was pushed into a crowded roundabout by an impatient local.

European friends came to visit me, rented a car. Turned it in two days later, totally freaked out and told me "you'll have to drive us."

It's the Wild West. Keep your eyes open, drive - if you can - during low traffic times.

There are worse places - Kuwait. Saudi Arabia. Rarely do I see the 13's and 14 y/os on the road here. But many Qatteri guys driving don't have a license. It doesn't matter. If something happens, the law doesn't apply to them.
