Qatar traffic rules applicable to all??
I certainly dont think so.
Latest Update:
I had a Qatari cut into my lane and when i honked him, the old guy at the steering wheel just gave me d Finger. Next moment, he stopped his vehicle with the intention of letting me ram into his car.
For God's sake, Grow up old guy. For starters, it is Ramadan. Shouldn't he be nice and good ?? Second, he ought to learn the traffic rules.
I wanted to confront him. So put on the double indicators and started to step out and Vrrrooommmm....He takes off...
Seriously, i feel the radars aint what the traffic police should be focussing on. but instead should focus on the way people drive around here.
Location: Trom Toyota tower towards Family Food Centre signal.
Absolutely bonkers.
& TO THINK: I HAD 3 INCIDENTS SUCH AS THE ABOVE HAPPEN IN THE PAST HALF AN HOUR !!!
Amazing.I post about reckless driving and I get termed as a pussy, get challenged to a driving competition, get almost chucked out of the country...LOL !!!The thread ain't about from which country I come from. It is all about endangering other's lives. It certainly aint a joke.If my family had been with me, there would have been, for sure, a few injuries. If that was the case, for sure, I would have whooped the crap out of the guy, regardless of the guy being young or old.A mistake is a mistake. Mazen 2, no offense meant mate, but in my country We treat visitors/expatriates with respect. We certainly dont scare the sweet living life outa the person. We honor our guests and give them the extra care treatment. Like i said, no offense. It is not about how recklessly/rash we can drive but about how safe we can be when we drive. Nothing great about reckless driving.How would you feel if you had your family, your kids with you and then wind up in a minor accident ???
ok let me know who ever win... there will be a party to the winner from Rizks..
a blond american and an indian. the winner will be a qatari! hehehe!
a blond american who work for QF vs an indian driver? lemme think......... aha, i think i will wait and see what's gonna be.
who do u think will win?
normal dear.... their upper department is empty..
Wasta = Corruption. Let's all be proud of it!!
I don't have issues with Qataris, its the Indian drivers who tick me off. Seriously? You are going to cut me off? Let's see; an Indian driver vs. a blond American who works for QF. Let's see who is going to win this one....Wasta, baby....Wasta....
drive defensively, most drivers in qatar are driving offensively regardless of nationality that makes the road a race track. it's like doing unto others what other's do unto you. if some one cut you, overtake and cut him too. that's the reality and a way of life on the road here. may be because the weather is hot making every one's head hot too...
the best thing to do is smile and make your day happy. expect that most people on the road want to show their dominance over you. let them do it and just do the right thing. pray for them cause they usually dont grow long. they die young or ussually driving a wheel chair soon. lol
take it or leave it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,be aman and drive like others...
if u not happy you know the way out. and i know you don.t you come from
country all prefict and had no mistake.
bullseye!
just move on
the biggest danger are south asians. very unpredictable, with bad road etiquette.the qatari's, as long as u stay out of their way, are fine ;)
I know why he cut into your lane.... because you were going 40 on a raod where speed limit is 100. You should be glad he was an old guy. I suggest you dont try that with a young Qatari.
its always crazy driving out in doha...Let us be good...indians are also danger on road
The best thing you possess with you while driving is patience........
Ignore such rash drivers..............
Happy Ramadan and safe journey....
Long live Qatar
I can understand your situation... But the best thing to do is ignore it... Not everyone is bad and not every one is good...
Wish you a very happy and pleasent ramadan...
don't act like you came from Cybertron or something. driving in Qatar is way better than any south asian country. don't be a pussy, talk like a man dude.
GBS - Not a freekin chance ;o)
it is only day time ,
just go out at night
Speedmarks, I have no problems with Ramadan driving. The roads are mostly empty when I'm out.
Baldrick, drive carefullly during Ramadan month. I dont go out and drive past lunch time and until Iftar is served. Drivers tend to be crazy during this period. Maybe bacause their stomachs are grumbling loudly. They dont care who's who on the road. Trust me, hallucinations are frequent on an empty stomach during this time.
"it is Ramadan. Shouldn't he be nice and good ??"I hate that catch phrase people use these days. People are people, yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Get over it. everone else does.
