Alien: Yeah yeah, I wasn't, yo. I was not saying 'States' to make a comparison, I was saying 'States' as an illustrative example so people could better understand what I was getting at. As there are other Westerners on this board, and the laws regarding drinking and driving are loosely similar, I would be more easily understood. As it is, I got the answer I was looking for from another Westerner, who got my point right away.
Thank you for your advice in telling me how I should and should not live in Doha, but I *have* lived abroad before. Your advice, I'm sorry to say, was a bit insulting. Compared to rural Japan, Doha is an absolute cakewalk.
Okay, now let's talk about slowly and peacefully. Slowly and peacefully is also a traffic hazard. Slowly and peacefully on a busy road, IMHO, is a bigger hazard than the car in the far lane who is flooring it. I am just a bit sick and tired of 'slowly and peacefully' drivers who insist on going 50 on a 80km stretch, in the middle lane, while other cars are forced to slalom around them. Learn to drive, or get off the road.
