Well someone is annoyed about us leaving Saudi............ there has been a violent storm tonight, roads including motorways flooded, thunder virtually stationary over head and lightning bolts everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely madness out there and lots of the drivers just dont know how to handle the conditions.
:) Lots of the roads have become rivers as there are still not enough drains, despite the crash sewer building programme of the last 12 months here in Khobar. Its going to be bedlam in the morning getting into work, thank god I've got a big 4wd as can handle it.
The little Yaris's with a bit of luck wont be able to......................... Now those little Yaris's are evil wee cars. 160kms flat out and yet still they try to overtake on the fast lane of the motorway. One day I feel like hitting the button at 150kms an hour and letting the tailgate open automatically while i shout for him to drive in and I will take him there!! They drive flatout 4" from the rear bumper and want you to get out the way............. Toyota Camry drivers just as bad, just cause they found cruise control, they seem to take it as an afront to switch it off when they come up behind you doing 180kms an hour (Max speed here is 120kms an hour)
The driving skills here are atrocious and thousands die needlessly every year all because they cannot drive properly. Saudi has the worst drivers in the world, the standards are terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've driven in Cairo, Mexico, Hong Kong, Athens even Bombay but have never seen it as bad as here............. I put all my managers in 4wds despite their complaints (cos they wanted BMW's etc) but its safer for them as if anything hits them (apart from a Mack Truck) the anything is gonna hurt not them!
Its the one thing I will not miss about Saudi!
