Default It rained!

More than usual.

I love the mentality here - it's raining so let's increase our distances between cars and reduce our speed, after all, the roads will be very greasy.

No - Because some dipshit decided to have an accident, they've blocked the road for everone else. This means that everyone is now far later for work so they'll drive faster, cut more people up and cause even more accidents.

No intelligence whatsoever.

Apparently there have been 19 deaths so far on Dubai's roads in February. It's a shame these idiots have to talk other innocents out with them. I'm all for cleansing the gene pool.

Twats!

Very frustratin this morning indeed. Took me over an hour to get to work when it usually only takes me 30 mins.

I don't get it, why do people have no sense of driving in the rain!? I mean I was educated here, got my driving license here and was raised here - and I drive like a normal person - so what is it that makes people such morons?!!?

Apart from that, it was nice to see rain here again - get ready for tons of front page pictures and stories in the papers tomorrow about the 'rain'!!

Ha - if I took my attention off the road for even a second to take a picture in Dubai traffic I'd probably join the pwmed list myself very quickly.

I got all the way from RAK to the Autodrome R/A in 45 mins, then almost 1 and a half hours to get from there to Media City

haha, I can't imagine how bad it must be in the rain, It takes alot to scare me on the road if i'm confident in the driving abilities of whoever I'm with, but I was pretty freaked out with my friend driving (who is an excellent driver) in normal conditions, flying down Sheikh Zayed Rd on our way to check out the then new Ski Dubai (Last October)

People are fing nuts over there, especially the taxi's.
