Call me crazy but...
Call me crazy but...guessing that if you live this might be the way to beat traffic.
My wife and I both ride custom motorcycles and in certain states they "allowed" lane splitting (Riding between the cars) as long as you didnt blast by at 500 mph.
By all accounts traffic is a bit of a survival sport in Doha but if you could stand the heat, avoid all manner of craziness and somehow manage to make it to work alive is there any specific law against riding between traffic for motorcycles??
Thanks all!!
Most motorcyclists do ride the white lines in Doha whenever traffic builds up. Most motorcyclists in Doha are fast food delivery guys. Most motorcyclists are ignored by the 1000s of Landcruisers, Escalades, trucks, Nissan Patrols, Suburbans, ___________ (insert name of large 4WD here), etc. Most drivers of said vehicle will not consider you have any rights on the road (whether in a lane or between them).
If you are not familiar with traffic in Doha (or indeed the Gulf in general) then I suggest you wait to experience it firsthand before you decide you want to use a motorcycle regularly for commuting. The temperature (50C+) and humidity for nearly 6 months of the year is unbearable for any amount of time.
