Saudi to deport reckless driver

Saudi Arabia has decided to deport a reckless Indian motorist for driving his truck at 100kph without holding the wheel and authorities said the decision is intended to protect the country from his evil acts, according to local newspapers.
The unnamed driver was seen in a YouTube film posted on social networks leaving the wheel of his vehicle unmanned and moving to the passenger’s seat to film himself as the truck cruised at over 100 kph on a motorway in Saudi Arabia.
The footage showed the young driver filming himself and listening to loud music as he left the wheel of the truck unattended.
Saudi traffic police later managed to track the driver and arrest him after the film went viral on social media. Newspapers said the incident took place on a motorway between the capital Riyadh and the Eastern port of Dammam.
The report said police arrested the driver with the help of his company manager and colleagues in Riyadh, adding that he confessed to driving recklessly.
“He was jailed for one month for driving recklessly and posing a threat to road users…the head of the Riyadh traffic department recommended his immediate deportation to protect the country from his evil acts and prevent accidents that could cause innocent casualties,” Sabq said.
For me , this story is not just about the reckless driving, but the idiocy of people who insist on posting their daily actions on social media.. Question: Why do we feel the need to share everything on social media ?

@Wild Turkey Nice photo of the Caddie. I think you call your self Wild Turn Key. You always have photos of cars.
May be a Merc truck ............ !
aaaaah the irony here .............. reporting something about "Social Media"..........on "Social Media"..... :/
Deport him back asap and ban him in all GCC countries, teach others a lesson, this goes for all races!
Rare skill ............. shown by somebody in the long past .....
The power of social media!
WT: Yep... We need to have another get together .....
I think it stems from the need to be recognised and possibly become famous.. The media has made millionaires of untalented idiots like the Kardashians ... and many want to be the same
Posting events on social media can make you famous. There are 13 million "likes" for the Elvis Presley FB page, but there are over a billion "likes" for the Gangnam FB page. Something is seriously wrong with people!
Because we don't talk to each other anymore, brit. The last time we met must have been around 2010 on a trip to a camel farm with DaRuDe and Gypsy, Red Pope and the others.
