Rules of the Road (By Rochester)
Hi! guys, I just thought to refresh this funny Rules of the Road by Rochester...
As a public service to newcomers, I thought I'd post a copy of this valuable document :

[Remember, your lives are in the hands of God: Have No Fear!]
Ten Top Tips for driving in the Gulf.
1. Keep to your lane!
Landcruisers, BMWs and Mercedes may use the fast lane.
All other cars should keep to the right.
2. On entering a round-about, remember God preserves the Pure in Heart.
Just drive straight in and He will protect you.
3. The right lane of a round-about is reserved for taxis to drop off passengers.
4. Double parking on round-abouts is only permitted if vendors are selling National Flags or watermelons.
5. Take the right hand lane if you are turning left, and vice versa.
6. If ‘other’ types of car use the fast lane, flash your headlights and they will get out of the way. Failing this, a gentle nudge to the bumper will do the trick.
7. Red traffic lights mean Stop! Green means Go!
* [Landcruisers and pickups are exempt from this rule.]
8. Always stay back at least ten inches from the car in front of you.
* [Landcruisers and pickups are exempt from this rule.]
9. Children sitting on the driver’s lap need not use a safety belt.
10. Use your horn frequently to signal “Have a Nice Day, Brothers!”
lol...nice one...:)
Tiida's must be after the LC's and pick ups. They drive me crazy (I drive a BMW). Havent seen BMW or Merc guys drive as bad and mad as them.
Interesting to obtain new info about driving here !
I doubt anyone driving Tiidas has gutts to speed up and drive mad like Land Cruisers, BMW's and Mercedes drivers! :P
What about Nissan Tiidas ?
Hahahaha, JJH, you made me smile.
I am laughing like hell over here :)
Funny enough! Same scenario used to happen all over GCC or only in Qatar?
Anyways.. Its the perfect thread to make someone smile :)
Hats off :)
Saudis are worse drivers though!
