I hate driving in Dubai now. Far too many cars along with third world driving standards that are fuelled by ever growing levels of aggression, impatience and general incompetence.
It's comical to see the delivery guys on their bicycles peddling up and down the pavement on SZR and weaving in and around the many pedestrians when the traffic is not moving very quickly on the adjacent service road. Drive round the back of the hotels and restaurants and the traffic is moving significantly quicker, with plenty of space off the road to cycle. Just the other day I saw someone cycling in the opposite direction at night with no lights and wearing nothing reflective!
I love driving when I go home now!
