I am a witness to saudi driving and accidents (today it was raining in khobar and i encountered nearly 6 accidents on my way)...
While driving once to Makkah, an SUV overtook me at nearly 170+speed and after 2 kilometers the family of four was lying dead in a pool of blood.... I cant take that image out of my head ...
My observations for rash driving
a) No to car insurance... drivers drive recklessly with no financial penalty... i pay 400 SAR an year and can hit my car anywhere and the damages to the other car will be paid by my company..there is also complete insurance which would cover my damages also... when u can drive recklessly and not care about financial aspects .... daily 20 deaths is what you get in KSA
Saudi Arabia has the highest road accident death toll in the world
Saudi Gazette - Carnage on Saudi Arabia’s roads
b) Driving license.... only thing one needs to get a license here is you have to do parallel parking... just cross the border to UAE and whoa.... driving license seems the most difficult thing in the world
I have other things to say but i have a report to submit....
PS. @al-Hasani free from exams ?
