Its funny, I have been here for just over three weeks, and based on my observations, its the westerners who drive like maniacs. The few emiratis I have met were always friendly and courteous. Its usually the westerners and other groups who are pushy.

Well, if thr westerners (and I am a westerner) can get it to a 10-3 ratio, I'll pop a cork....no pun intended!

Its officially in Janes Weapon Guide that the most lethal instrument of death in the world...is an Abu Dhabi plated 4X4 with blacked out windows.

I have to disagree with you DK, I think the worst driving standards are in Saudi Arabia

I am not sure which part you don't get, but my guess is this... we were discussing about westerners vs emirati or arab drivers, since most are muslim, then they do not drink. Yes, its a loose connection.
I don't know who it was,... but last night I was driving and a car sped up and the head light disappeared (didn't notice until then). I thought the car went around me, but it didn't. This idiot was tailgating me at 100 km/h. I took the foot off the gas, but didn't really slow down just to see what s/he do. He stayed back there for awile...didn't get over until we reached a circle or roundabout. Anyway,... four other cars manage to know that a polite quick flick of the highbeam is the proper signal. AND yes, I was travelling above the posted speed!
