Dubai driving update
All you EK / FZ employees are probably very used to the driving 'dynamic' here in DXB and I am no exception. I think I witnessed a new low in terms of ridiculous stupidity this afternoon. I was navigating the back streets of Jumeira this afternoon and passed a cyclist wearing a yellow hi - vis jacket ( nice health and safety touch). As he was wobbling along I noticed that his eyes were fixated on his hi tech i phone type mobile with not a glance at the road ahead. My close runners up have been: 'tailgated' by a yellow school bus (with children) and accompanying flashing of lights etc and a SUV traversing the SZR across 4 lanes while texting and no looking up. On a sombre note the radio announced 3 more deaths on the Dubai roads today. The lack of courtesy and sheer stupidity seen on the roads here resonates with the place. Almost time to go I think.
Drive safely / cheers!
