| just been here 2 mos and the state of the roads is horrifying-- yesterday, in a cab, watching 3 cars merging from different lanes simultaneously? this is suicide on wheels... i heard i can get a driver for 1500 dhs/mo which i could afford w/o problems question: should i just suck it up or leave the driving to someone else? |

| c'mon sydney drivers are worse than the ones here, i really can't see what's the big fuss about the driving here... i agree it's not ideal but unless you are used to driving in outback oz, most major cities around the world are pretty much the same! |

| i suppose-- but driving fast in rural oz is one thing-- there are so fewer drivers there dubai is more like CBD sydney on permanent road rage steroids!

| Stay on the slower lanes. I'm not kidding. When I get tired of all the tailgating/intimidation nonsense, I just move over from the fast lane and cruise at 80 kph behind all the Corolla/Sunnys to relax. Someone I know already proved that always driving on the slow lanes can give you a 100% no-accident rate for decades here. Three lanes merging, well, just avoid those roads if possible. You haven't seen Sharjah's amazingly stupid roads yet. |

| Comparing Sydney drivers to those in Dubai is laughable - worlds apart. |

| At times I've even noticed that you get to your destination faster if you use the slower lanes Ironic, i know |
