Default Thats some messed up sh!t......

Apparently Dubai has been having problems with speeders (a lot of high end cars over there) and installed speedbumps on major roads. Thats all fine and dandy, but, they didnt tell the people about it. Looks what happens.

The last car in the video is a brand new Gallardo.
Here are the pics of it....after the fact....

Jakubs2000 posted this a few weeks back. He said however that it wasn't state sponsored (if I remember correctly). Instead it was done by some pranksters.

...edited...OK I was a little off. Supposedly the pranksters shut off lights warning of the speedbump ahead.

if the accident was the result of those pranksters and I was the owner of the said Gallardo....I would snap their necks one by one.

wow. pranksters???
bored kids??

^ that's local style baby, first do than think :-)
I told them "someone could have died" he says "yeah, but noone did"
if that is indeed the mentality of that region, then I am beginning to see why it's so difficult to understand the Middle east.
(I'm not flaming, just making a personal observation)
