#Britexpat so tragic I've been watching accident compilations on YouTube for long time and witnessed some here in Qatar.... and guys seriously pay attention I've seen accidents that had me totally paranoid driving on a 2 lane Highway, you can drive perfectly , follow the speed limit and all it take is some idiot falling a sleep or texting and BANG! you got a car in your front seat...
WT: People drive on single lane roads all over the world. The main problem is the issuance of licenses to people who can't drivend the lack of law enforcement by the police.
Alternatively limit the speed to 60 km/h.
Ummbab road is Unsafe n dangerous.....daily 1 accident occurs on that road which has 25 KM only. Two big cement factory under operation with many Tippers / busses / cars running on that road......speed limit is 120KM in single lane.....
Govt.has to make two two lanes atleast in order to control the accident......
Another tragic road acident. May they rest in peace.
