Would you like to see how real sheikhs are driving? It gives the impression that they had never passed their driving license. But we mustn’t forget that buying a new car is simpler than buying a new life.
I drove a truck for the U.S. Army from the southern part of Kuwait up into Iraq for about a year, and I'll tell you that I saw more car accidents in that year than I ever thought I would see in my lifetime...
The main problem is, the Kuwaitis get paid for simply being a citizen... so they can buy a new car anytime they want... plus, the simple fact that the country went from being pretty much third-world to a rich, modern country from about 1992 up to now... so, most people who never drove before, have bought cars and started driving with little real regard for their cars or traffic laws (some of which have only been around for a few years)...
I wonder how many of these pics were taken by U.S. Servicemen serving over there...
