They said it was due to extreme foggy conditions.<br /><br />True. I was on the road that morning and was driving at 80-100 km/h maintaining safe distance because of the fog. And obviously there were the morons who were driving at 160-180 kph jumping lanes and hard shouldering. Eventually all traffic was halted for 3 hours to clear the pileup. I took the next exit and drove back to Abu Dhabi.masoodhttp://logicalobscurity.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-15778097374266183002010-03-11T10:08:07.894+04:002010-03-11T10:08:07.894+04:00Mr Goat, for once it seems 7Days has it right!

Tailgating and speeding I can accept, blaming the weather I can't.Seabeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06939892206726271433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-8571468515352061872010-03-11T07:49:42.751+04:002010-03-11T07:49:42.751+04:00Interesting that Thursday 11 Mar 7DAYS carries the...Interesting that Thursday 11 Mar 7DAYS carries the story. According to 7DAYS, police say that the incident was caused by driving too close and not paying attention. Not a whisper suggesting that the fog caused it.Grumpy Goathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07944514711900089561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-84446252400035063792010-03-11T02:11:22.530+04:002010-03-11T02:11:22.530+04:00really love this post, it's quite unique in co...really love this post, it's quite unique in content/style/tone compared to the countless others.<br />keep up the work my sweet<br />xxxxDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-75937682896449771982010-03-11T00:01:03.190+04:002010-03-11T00:01:03.190+04:00Two classes of bad drivers here....one gets away w...Two classes of bad drivers here....one gets away with it because they can and the other that gets caught, jailed and/or deported back to their very nearby home countries in the sub-continent.<br /><br />I actually find the latter more irritating.<br /><br />Both are testing Darwin's "survival of the fittest" theory but unfortunately those of us who are more self-aware and prudent are unwilling victims of these reckless bastards'experiments!Acehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07520874010998859566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-58946777365505729462010-03-10T22:06:59.243+04:002010-03-10T22:06:59.243+04:00Can we guess something that ties the 2 drivers tog...Can we guess something that ties the 2 drivers together?
