:twisted: MaaaD i got this in an email .. feel free to add your own: DRIVING IN DUBAI If your road map is more than a few weeks old, throw it out and get a new one. If you are in Al Rashidiya and your map is one day old, then it is already obsolete. Forget the traffic rules you learned elsewhere. Dubai has its own version of traffic rules, which can be summarized as "Hold on and pray!" If it is your priority to cross, forget it and wait. There is no such thing as a dangerous high-speed chase in Dubai. Everyone drives like that. When you plan to get a new car, ask first about its acceleration from 80 to 160 Km/h (recommended: 3 seconds). Very important if you frequently use the Emirates Road All directions start with Sheikh Zayed Road, which has no beginning and no end.. The morning rush hour is from 5:00 AM, The evening rush hour is from 1:00 PM to 10:00 PM.. Wednesday's rush hour starts Tuesday morning. If you slow down at a yellow light, you will be rear-ended and then given a ticket by the Dubai Police. If you are the first one at the intersection, when the light turns green ignore the car honking behind you and count to five to avoid crashing into one of the cars running the red light in cross-traffic. Construction on all main roads is a way of life and a permanent form of entertainment. (Sorry for the inconvenience) All unfamiliar sights are explained by the phrase, "Oh, we must be in Sharjah!" Car horns are actually toys for big boys. Anyone in a Land Cruiser, Tuned Patrol, or Mercedes with tinted windows has the right of way. Period. If you are driving a Corolla, Sunny, or another small Japanese car, stay on the far right lane. No comment! Most roads mysteriously change names as you cross intersections. To ask directions, you must have good knowledge of Urdu. A trip across town will take a minimum of four hours, although Sheikh Zayed Road has an unposted minimum speed of 150 Km/h. 18 wheeler trucks are one of the fastest vehicles in Dubai , they can do 120 Km/h on Hatta-Oman Road when fully loaded. The minimum acceptable speed on the Emirates Road is 160 km/h. Anything less is considered downright sissy. Al Khail Road is Dubai's daily version of NASCAR. Dubai Autodrome has a new extension: The Emirates Road. Geraldine Could agree more! DO NOT get car with Navigation system, dubai road change everyday., :cry: KeithL So true and So funny :lol: arniegang post of the day brilliant MaaaD my personal favorite is

Hubby was going 130 and couldn't move out of the fast lane because of the traffic and some moron in a Cayenne was up our butt and weaving back and forth behind us. Finally he passed us on the left - in the sand on the side of the road - picking up speed and going about 160 down the road. Funny thing is, we almost caught up anyway because there was a big roundabout. His daredevil antics really paid off in time saving! (Moron! :twisted: )
Sorry K, I'll just run straight over you next time! :wink: Cargirl LOL wonderful I like it!! kanelli Hypothetically, perhaps the sweetest revenge is seeing the moron's car wrapped around a light standard. If he/she lives they still likely won't understand that they did something wrong. :roll: bushra21
