What is the purpose of this posting? Anti Arab sentiment? Distrust of other nations laws?
Its unfortunate for the individual concerned but obscene gestures are a big no-no when driving in the UAE. You can cut people up, pull out in front of them and do much that would get your collar felt in the UK / USA but stick your fingers up and thats it...you're in trouble....
Most people are aware of this when they drive over there....if not, perhaps people should take the time to acquaint themselves with local customs....
I have sympathy for the guy concerned but he made the faux pas.... ignorance is no excuse......
Half the posts in JetBlast complain about a lack of respect in modern society...looks like the UAE have got it right.... show a lack of respect and you can have free board and lodging for a month!
