Is it me or the people there in general drive like a**holes? There were quite a few cars that were going in and out of the shoulder.
Cairo is the Land of the U Turn. Can't make a left turn.
Sanaa they are high on Khat at Noon and drive worse than the Istanbul vid.
Riyahd, you have the Allah lane, (left shoulder used as forgiveness to pass people in the number one lane. Also the Saudi sweep, go from No. 1 lane to outside shoulder sweeping every car to come back to the No. 1 lane.
Nairobi, Wrong side of the road, right hand drive. You just drive where you can in traffic to get where you want in a hurry. Watch for dump trucks...
Islamabad, People walking down the middle of the road that you almost hit doing 80 klks.
Herat, One legged man walking down road on crutches almost causing a 20 car and donkey and wagon pile up.
Tashkent, brided Taxi driver to drive his Lada in the winter and did a couple of 360's in the snow.
So in other words, driving like that is normal in that part of the world.
Those are all true, can't make any of that sh!t up.
My 16 year old daughter can't scare me with her permit when she drives.

That's why you see vids of people flying everywhere getting hit by cars from these places.
