We have a lot of selfish drivers on the road here. I'm currently learning how to drive in Sharjah, which is pretty similar its neighbouring Emirate. As a newbie, I have no choice but to follow the rules if I find my life dear. However, a lot of morons here don't understand the sanctity of life when they refuse to follow the rules and don't keep in mind that perhaps there may be a few new drivers on the road =_=Miss Mimsyhttp://mimsyborogovee.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-41835176659566002082013-04-22T09:16:05.965+04:002013-04-22T09:16:05.965+04:00Here in the States as well.....

One more point to the list: <br />In a three line road, if you are driving on the center line and the driver on your right decides he wants to turn left at any time, he is free to to do so pushing your car away, as long as he has his "indicators on". <br />It happened to me this week. <br />I drive a relatively tall CRV and, after pulling off my front bumper, the great driver of a little audi left his car screaming why I didn't stop to give him way to turn left, from the extreme right, in front of the green traffic lights. Hahahahhahaa..... <br />Thankfully the Dubai Police did not agree with his twisted driver's vision and gave me the GREEN paper and he got the RED paper. Another interesting subject to a new topic. :)Karlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18057473667130725738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-58497611439186023272011-02-27T13:18:11.055+04:002011-02-27T13:18:11.055+04:00This gives a lot of useful information about Dubai...This gives a lot of useful information about Dubai.
