Softly Press on your brakes instead of gas when you are nearing the signal... if you slow down to 70 or 60, the one behind will notice that u are slowing down a bit... and will also slow down... if he sees u determined to beat the green, he/she will definitely speed up with u and tailgate...
The verb, Tailgate, refers to the practice of driving closely behind the rear fender of a preceding vehicle. In qatar it is punishable-- for those of you don't know.
70 and 60 gives u advantage of stopping in time should there be pedestrians or should the light changes to yellow or red all of the sudden.
In US, there was an ad campaign to tell americans that 70 can save pedestrian lives in cases of abrupt and hard braking! In 80, u could hit a car in front of you, or even the person who suddenly decided to cross the street and was running for toilet...
if u are almost near the stop line and u still see green, it is time to press on gas and go up to no more than 80... when u make it through the traffic light it is time to SPEEEEEEED UP!!! VROOOOOOOMMMMMM! yeeeehah!
i pass by ramada eeeeeeveryday, no sweat... i decided to keep my cool, leave 3 minutes earlier than usual... esp if u don't make it in the signal... u'll be waiting for 3 minutes, that way u have time to spend in waiting...
better to keep cool and wait than rushing and risking ur car in an accident or fine!
i had 3 accidents already in doha, and i HATE it so much!!! I HATE the big hassle!
i appreciate the traffic lights in Ramada or anywhere else for that matter, for me it enforces discipline to everyone.
