Many people from around the world must have now seen the horrific car pile up that occurred on the highway from Abu Dhabi to Dubai early yesterday morning. I have personally driven on this road many times and I can honestly say that the majority of those that use this road should never have been issued with a driving license.
I personally don’t blame the drivers themselves but those who issued them the license.
One very occasionally sees traffic police sitting in their cars staring at God knows what, while cars go shooting past as if they are on an F1 racing track. It is a very scary road to drive on but then so are many other roads in the UAE.
I have yet to see a posh car, whether with dark tinted glass or otherwise, being stopped and penalized for dangerous driving whether for excessive speed or just zigzagging in and out of lanes. I guess these people have a 007 license when they use these roads. Perhaps their license plates should end with 007 so we know.
