Dubai Drivers

This morning as I was driving to work thought of this subject more because of the numerous characters one gets to see on Dubai roads during commute. Some scare us with their stunts and some annoy us with their speed and some make us feel as if we are watching a Formula 1 race – anyways I am sure people who drive in Dubai would concur to most of the analysis of these segments

The Terminator: they drive a large SUV or a 4 wheel which resemble trucks. They tail the car ahead and scare the driver – it would appear as if they would just push them away to make way in the busy road

The Zipper: this segment changes lanes as if it’s a Play Station – scary segment to be close to while driving

The Stalker: These drivers behave as if they are up to something constantly chasing cars

The twitter: think this is the most busiest of all – they check their blackberries and send mails while driving on a high way – gawsh no wonder we have so many accidents

The Jaywalkers: a common syndrome may be people do not understand that the approaching vehicles are indeed at 120 Kmph/hour. I did witness a man flying and it was quite traumatic

The Romancers: These drivers behave as if they are in a park on in a cafĂ© – doing all sorts of annoyance and driving slowly on a 100 km/hour road

Any not to mention those busy women drivers who manage to adjust their hair or apply a lipstick while catching up at a signal

No doubt Dubai is busy and the pace is fast but sense should prevail

Please drive safe
