I'm not claiming to be a wonderful driver but I despair at what I see out here.
A whole family killed by a speeding and reckless POLICEMAN!

It's simply frightening. This crazy behaviour is an everyday occurance. I was driving along the Al Khail road a couple of days ago and saw another vehicle crushed by an out of control Heavy Goods Vehicle. It was massive and there wasn't much left of the saloon car. I wonder what working hour limitations are put on the drivers of these massive trucks. I've been hit by a HGV on the way to work (rear ended). We were stationary at the time but by some miracle got off lightly. There doesn't seem to be any real progress in stopping this madness. My thoughts go to those whose lives have been touched by this madness. I was lucky. As I chat to my friends many seem to be formulating plans to move there families away from this danger.
