Dear Saudi Driver

Notes from my friend, Waiel directed towards Saudi drivers. I personally agree with him:

1. The lane in the road is there to guide you though the road not to ZigZag between them. 2. Again the lanes in the road is to organize the way we drive so don't squeeze yourself between cars or drive in 2 lanes. 3. You're suppose to stop at the traffic light before the traffic light itself not in front of everyone to be the first. 4. please note that YOU DON'T OWN THE ROAD !!! 5. Please stop looking at accidents by slowing down or stopping next to it you're only making the situation worst for everyone. 6. Driving on the left lane doesn't give you the right to over speed. 7. Signals in the cars are there for a reason so make use of them (the right way). 8. Yellow traffic light means slowdown, It doesn't mean step-over the gas so you can pass it before it becomes red! 9. Streets should not be used as racing tracks.

I totally agree with the points. I wish, I could just print out these points and place them on billboards!

Come on you Saudi drivers, get a life!

1. That little lane on the left of the fast lane (between the yellow line and the cement wall) is actually meant for emergencies, not for Formula One game simulation super-speeding.

I thought it was a challenge lane!! To actually see who can shoot more gravel onto other cars

LOL, true yet so funny at the same time.

About point #3, many years ago, I actually saw the cops handing out flyers which had a simple visual drawing showing NOT to do the above point #3

In other words, saying you shouldn’t pass all the cars in front of you by driving in the right lane and then going left and stopping in front of the traffic light. Well…. I’m afraid that flyer actually enlightened many ignorant drivers to do it rather than to avoid it!!

What a coincidence! I was thinking about writing something about this pain!

Problem is that you do not see the traffic police where you really need them!

10 – when someone pisses you off, you don’t go in front of them and hit the brakes.
