Is that the best you could do, I saw many worst examples of parking during my recent visit to the US.
Mind you this guy needs to get his act together before the Police get him, Dhs6,800.00 in unpaid fines dating back to 06-02-2007, which also indicates that he is not registered or insured.

dude, as i made clear, it may be ignored and it may not be the worst. but these kind of idiots certainly are irritating others on the road. bring what u c in ur daily life and stop wondering on the quality or the extent.

consider u r driving at 120 and someone changes lane ahead of u without giving signal or giving signal just as he changes lane. it happened just far enough to avoid a hit and quick enough to catch u by surprise and break ur flow. what would be ur reaction there ?!

i hope u r not going to answer saying i posted slightly displaced parking and this is completely another issue......... please.

I do the death race 2000 4 times a day ( Abu-Dxb highway ) and after a while you get desentised to such small nuances when you you see carnage and have those "near misses "on a daily basis. Its only a matter of time before I myself land up wraped around a light pole because some idiot clipped me at 180.

Even the radars are homosexual and have a speed limit of 160kph and 9kms apart so that a lot of space for someone to test how far the needle goes down to the right, specially when your starting from 160 in the first place. On unaccountable occasions I've seen cars that must be going a well over 200 kph. Even at 110-120 feels like your standing still !

Even your second example is tame, compared to the daily happenings on the death race circuit.

Welcome to the Thunder Drome !

To face the most dangerous drive in DXB-AUH, try returning from Dubai at 10pm on a Saturday. 80% of the drivers are trying to go home in time to have a proper sleep before work on Sunday, and they are mostly AUH residents returning from Dubai/Northern Emirates. You will see plenty of cases of 4 cars within 8 m of each other and all doing 160 on the fast lane. To add to the fun, some cars will be coasting at 100 km on the 3rd lane.

"Am I driving safely? If not please call xxxxxxxx"

Anyone ever tried calling the number?

I tried once (I was a passenger) - It was a 050-number - and the driver answered the phone himself - driving and talking (not handsfree) :-)
