First of all, thanks for you topic as it's an important subject which needs to be discussed.
However, I have been living in Qatar for 35 years, and had my first driving license on October 1995. Yet driving in the past was much easier and more safe than now, as most of drivers where qualified. But now the roads or even service streets and inside the neighbourhood has become like a racing track!. In the other hand, alot of drivers from different nationalities and ages are speeding up on all kinds of streets neglecting the small space of the street or the other drivers and peoples on thses streets.
Nevertheless, there is a few drivers who is neglecting the law and not respecting rights of other drivers or street users?!. Even with the speed radars which is placed on the high way and other streets and traffic signals around the city, yet some drivers is getting away with their bad actions on the streets.
Although, all drivers or street users must be educated and be self-absorbed before they step on the street. As the traffic police can't put a police man to watch over each driver!.
Finally, there is another source of troubles on streets, which is the driving school cars, as now there is many of them on the streets, and they could block the road or any exit when they are moving like a slow long train relaesed lose on the street. Well, I suggest to build a city out of Doha and to place all driving schools in there, as this could reduce the traffic jam on inside streets and U-turn exits.
Also, not to forget about the green cars, or KARWA Taxi cars, as they are the most users of the streets. Yet there is many Taxi drivers either driving like some amature just got his driving license or like a crazy mad driver..?!. Secondly, any one could notice that most of Karwa drivers have got no idea about Qatar areas, even they are the ones who must know that and to be the most who obey traffic rules.!.
Finally, thanks again for the good topic, and it's my pleasure to comment on it and to read others comments.
Peace be upon you, and how do you do?.
