khalli: man, i just stared at the last part of your comment for a while...i really think you're on to something here...you think its possible some of them are really still following the indian/brit lane system?....yes..yes...that makes perfect sense and i'm not being sarcastic...oh god...i'm really going to be observing them most keenly now on...i myself, who am preaching here, have failed driving tests both in Qatar and India...drove on the wrong side both times because i'd been driving in the other country immediately before that...the cop in qatar was so dumbstruck, he just slowly waved me out of the car without a word :-)
