Road deaths in Qatar are six times higher than in the UK, per head of population, and many more residents in Qatar do not drive than in the UK. Drivers in Qatar are dangerous.
I stick to the speed limits, because in Qatar crashes are inevitable. I don't know anyone who hasn't been in some kind of minor accident. As speed increases, the impact energy increases by the square of the speed. Hitting an object at 120kph will cause over twice the damage of hitting it at 80kph. Driving slower saves lives.
No one wants to crash, but it happens. If you crash at 120 into a Land Cruiser full of kids and wipe out the lot of them, it really doesn't matter to me whether it was your fault or the other driver's. The result is identical.
