Synapsis, I will give you credit for sticking to your guns but it is defending the indefencible. You can argue that evolution takes time and that other countires took years to solve their traffic deaths and you would be right. But the UAE has the benefit of that evolution but choses to ignore it and do it all again for themselves.
There are three main causes of motor fatalities around the world (ignoring IEDs) Alcohol, Fatigue and Speed. In the UAE the first cause is greatly minimised by the law and the punishment for breaking it, the second is a function of geography, generally speaking drivers don't drive far enough on a regular basis for it to be a factor. That leaves the three main causes in the UAE as Speed, Speed and Speed. If the influence of drinking can be minimised by the law why isn't there the will to slow these jokers down by the same means? Perhaps a fatalistic culture would explain some of it.
