Driving in the UK has passed the point of complete insanity, and is slowly turning back inwards upon itself. Factor in the thousands of foreign registered cars that are running around (particularly in the London area) whose owners' haven't got a clue about driving in the UK, and you have a nightmare of epidemic proportions. I must admit, I would be having the four by four and negotiating the sandy snicket.... but purely because I love off roading, and any opportunity that presents itself is fine by me. But you definitely have my commiserations over the insane speed limit and the boys in green (bet the fines are pretty steep too).Mockingbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02241527559864367117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7655889105820772060.post-72029228892241818162008-12-01T09:53:00.000+03:002008-12-01T09:53:00.000+03:00Rosh, The grief is not reserved to Sharjah residen...Rosh, The grief is not reserved to Sharjah residents. We all share that grief.<BR/><BR/>People criticize the RTA? Really? But what for? I can't think of many reasons.<BR/><BR/>I mean there's one or two:<BR/><BR/>- The new defense round about that changes lanes every day and creates massive confusion in which lane one is supposed to take leading to numerous accidents?<BR/><BR/>- The recently completed bridge/underpass network around the business bay / Al Wasl hospital area that leads to another few accidents because people realize at the last minute that the lane they're in will lead them to business bay?<BR/><BR/>- It's also not so long ago that I was heading off towards the new garhoud brige to get to the Irish Village for some bevvies when I found myself being guided forcibly all the way to Sharjah with no way to turn!<BR/><BR/>- etc...<BR/><BR/>But seriously, why would anyone criticize them? They're doing a brilliant job keeping the public busy with being pissed off at traffic so they can't complain about other horrid living conditionsSherif Abazahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08506420035537495713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7655889105820772060.post-48421104204930793462008-12-01T04:27:00.000+03:002008-12-01T04:27:00.000+03:00Seabee, am not sure it's an RTA legislation/law. ...Seabee, am not sure it's an RTA legislation/law. The 100 categories apply only in SHJ. <BR/><BR/>Alex, it's nice to read your posts commuting between Emirates. My brothers and friends share similar grief/thoughts. So did I, whilst living there.roshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03271894997251528158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7655889105820772060.post-16811521962470733452008-11-30T14:13:00.000+03:002008-11-30T14:13:00.000+03:00I was going to look at that, but then thought 'Nah...I was going to look at that, but then thought 'Nah.

People like nurses. And bakers. What have they done to upset the RTA? It's bizarre. <BR/><BR/>I looked for 'bloggers who criticise the RTA' but that wasn't listed in GN's report.Seabeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06939892206726271433noreply@blogger.com
