May their souls rest in peace and may this accident be an eye opener to those who wrecklessly drive and so as to those concerned authorities to immediately do something about this redundantly-shocking-event-life-taker, for all of us who are trying to live a peceful life here in dubai away from our loved ones.<BR/><BR/>A sincere prayer is indeed offered to them. :(thickbrowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12218555078530340904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-22675986298035206992008-07-15T21:45:00.000+04:002008-07-15T21:45:00.000+04:00anon, it's part of the bad road management.

A wide dual carriageway through desert but it has a 60 limit, which everyone ignores. These things help to establish the mindset that speed limits can be ignored.Seabeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06939892206726271433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-14023148548490608042008-07-15T21:24:00.000+04:002008-07-15T21:24:00.000+04:00I have a big issue with the speed limits in some o...I have a big issue with the speed limits in some of the new roads. Business Bay Bridge for example: I'm sorry, but you can't build a huge wide smooth 6 lane highway and expect people to drive at 80, so you get them driving at 140 and then slamming on the anchors when they spot a speed camera, or think they spot a speed camera.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-81889447982207361522008-07-15T08:29:00.000+04:002008-07-15T08:29:00.000+04:00Agree with jad aoun, it seems that the carnage is ...Agree with jad aoun, it seems that the carnage is endless, and the measures by the RTA & Police are clearly not working. Coupled to this is the lack of educational campaigns, it seems that increased penalties are the only measure that the Govt understands how to implement.<BR/>This is yet another tragedy of the loss of innocent lives in the UAE.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-49920227449571992882008-07-14T22:03:00.000+04:002008-07-14T22:03:00.000+04:00Honestly, this is getting really ridculous. How ma...Honestly, this is getting really ridculous. How many people must die, how many accidents must we see before the police become more proactive? Police action here is very reactive. With the opening of Garhoud Bridge, it was easily predicted that cars would come flying down the new overpass from Deira. All they did was put up signs warning motorists that the road is 'monitored' and the speed limit is 80. Try traveling at 80 and you'll get knocked off the road by speeding cars until they reach the speed camera near Wafi. Its a complete joke - cameras and patrols need to be out in greater force. Its still a breeze to speed without getting caught.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-33044429752652264012008-07-14T21:15:00.000+04:002008-07-14T21:15:00.000+04:00In the papers and on radio many people have said s...In the papers and on radio many people have said similar things about them Moryarti.
