It must be something in the water..

I have noticed that they can drive cars using a mobile phone with one hand, whilst changing gear with another and still steer the car with some "part" of their body..

Truly Awesome..

Really have to hand it over to the locals..

Left big toe on the AC vent,that style really rocks... I tried on my camry, but I gurss I need a Land cruiser for the full effect..

I once saw a Qatari drving a white Toyota Avalon , with a newspaper spread wide over the steering wheel..I was just one week old in Doha at that time, and I nearly popped my eyeballs out..

...Avada Kedavra..

this is getting pretty serious convo. Heres me thinking overtaking in a roundabout with your ass control the steering wheel while you adjust your baby seat was cool :)

K666, what about 150 dead people through traffic rule violations every year? No problem, or what?

Who is to say what is right and wrong on driving habits; we all abuse the rules of the road at sometime, what is seen as dangerous to some may seem safer to others - why dont we all just get on with driving the way we want to drive - keep yourself safe and dont fuss about others.

Exactly, A child strapped up in the back seat has a far better chance of survival if someone is texting, smoking and arranging minutes of meetings while driving, hehe.

saying that, gotta keep the population down some how.

Women tend to excell in the field of awesome also though brit, remember in todays society a woman can do anything a man can.

With Lipstick

I don't know what i find funnier though, the ones that drive around with the handsfree earphone thing some how stuck under their bottom lip (especially funny when you a car full of them)

Or the Cyborgs you see driving around, i just keep expecting a laser beam to attack me everytime i see these bio-mechanical humanoid people.

still, i guess it's better than the Original Hands Free.

Don't forget all of the above PLUS a child on the lap and a cigarette in the hand.

Must be contagious, eh?

If one hand is on the gear, the other on the phone....

And one leg on the dashboard, one is flexed... (not on the brake)

Men... Am i missing a body part?! They're drivin, right ?

True talent will always shine through. My compliments to the glistening jewel that is the daily road challenge.

I always am incredibly impressed with the ability to have a infant on the drivers seat assisting with the steering, not to mention the fruitful abundance of human airbags jumping around in the back seat and boot.
