No Wonder Dubai's Roads Are So Unsafe! Mar 19, 2007
No wonder Dubai's roads are so unsafe! Have a look at the 2nd video of the cars driving along Jumeirah Beach Road. Especially the last two cars in the video.

what else can you expect when the police itself drives with no rules, and does not stop people that are breaking the law???

To be fair, that particular speed bump isn't well signed at all, and you regularly see people damage their cars on it.

I dont think these ppl actually knew there was a speed bump there.

I had this same problem the first time they set it up.

That footage is quite old and the problem was, you couldn't actually see the speed bump.

I think that the testing policy should be made a lot more difficult.

What is the current policy to get a license? I think that the majority of dangerous drivers are the UAE nationals themselves and not driver for example from Europe and the UK, this is based on what I've seen with my own eyes out there.

Whats your thoughts all?

I don't think it is fair to lump it all on one nationality, because that is not the way it is, we just have to get a safer driving environment from all, because we are all in danger of losing our lives.
