75,666 Qatar road accidents in last 6 months

I'll add one more SUDANESE...

If you see a land cruiser or other big cars behind you flashing his headlights and you were in the maximum speed limit, most probably the driver is Qatari, second probability is an Indian and third is other Arab nationalities, it is just an observation. They seem to hurry alot and bully other drivers with their big vehicles and bright lights. Don't we have equal rights on the road?

thats alarming.

Colt45 y'aani what to do, I am distracted easily :o)

Shapil, i'm very well educated thank you. I am free to give you english lessons concerning giving rhetorical examples, and not actual events - the way you mentioned beating 6 english chess players came across as factual. Anyway good luck with your chess, here's to number 7!

I blame you for taking ur eyes off the road to look at those women :-P

I still blame the women :o)

Shapil, chill the f**k out, what i say is mostly true, i got nothing against indians, apart from their naive driving ability. Could be any nationality but happens to be indians. Get over it!

you know i get tired of people saying that niqabi women can't see or their vision is restricted. bottom line it is not true. vision is fine. do you honestly think they would get behind the wheel of a car if they couldn't see.

im a niqabi and i can see perfectly. i haven't been in one accident.

I am a Indian my birth..But I too agree to the point that most of the Indian drivers are too much feared and create tensn to others...they are too careful....and become a problem for others..but i guess its mainly coz of the traffic violation fines here...an Indian driver gets average 3000 as salary or may be less...so How come they pay this much for violation..so they are too scared/..

duncheski first go get some education and then re evaluate your boorish comments because they suffer from the fallacy of generalization. You did not understand the example I gave and you will not understand anything I will say. So, live in your over simplified world and be happy.

That last comment proved how racist you are.

Come on i've been in the gulf long enough to distinguish indians from other nationalities, ain't that hard. If their window is down the poor body odour is a giveaway straight away! They just don't seem well equipped to drive on the road. Simple as.

6 was just a number, I could very well have put 600 there and still my statement would have been illogical and I did check their passports before beating them unlike you.

Duncheski did you check their passport, If you have not then you are one hell of a racist.

Come on guys it ain't too difficult to deduce after a while a familiar pattern - i'm making an observation that the following annoying driver faults are predominantly made by indians.....

1. Not indicating

2. Not letting u out even when bumper to bumper traffic

3. Driving in the outside lane at a slow pace when tons of room inside, creating traffic jams.

U beat 6 english at chess? Well done! Good for u...but i seen a lot more than 6 poor indian drivers so maybe my hunch is correct! Not being racist just an observation.....like indians eat curries with their hands....an observation!

duncheski, if you look at the drivers while driving and can face read their nationality then its an an amazing skill. I beat 6 english in chess and hence i can beat all english in chess.

Did you check their Passport?

huhh only the indians on your mind ?

Why can't indians signal when turning off the road?? Hardly ever seen it done and almost always involves indians. I think in general indians have zero road awareness, whenever i overtake them on the inside lane cos they drive at 60km.hr in the outside lane or any other ignorant driving error i look at them and they are in another world, tunnel vision. Really pisses me off how retarded they are on the roads

how can you identity by looking a person whether he is indian or egybtian. broblem is not nationality. drinking bebsi eating bobcorn and sbeaking mobile bhone while driving.

blease excuse me

Don't play hide & seek...

You all just born & died.

well highway engineering here doesn't live up to expectations.

aside from indians, patans...blame it also to road constructions and destructions... :(

highway engineering is part of the curriculum and road design as well as safe break distance, sight distance are part of the extensive program! It adds a lot in understanding traffic and traffic flow system.

I don't get angry anymore like when I first came. Some people are just ignorant of how to drive so its not really their fault and others are outright stupid in their recklessness.

I know how to drive out here now and don't get involved in accidents. However if I wind down my window and say to you 'and at what point did you think that move was a good idea' then thats me.

exile, I sincerely hope you leave your anger at home before you get in your car ;o)

lol jackie... you mean half of the world population is indian...;)

lol exiledsaint. Let me know where I can find one! Perhaps one with English, Hindi and Arabic translations.

In 75,666 am one among them !!!. Last month one guy hit my car with his four wheeler and he was sooooo busy. hope you got the nationality of that person, by mentioning his (BUSY driving). Even if the signal is red this peoples need to be in the front row. Also flasing light at the back evenif we are driving at maximum speed limit. Any one can tell me where these peoples are sooo hurry going?.

You missed out the American Indians and the South American Indians....

off course..thats why its called an indian subcontinent with a few exceptions.

I can understand what a Western guy means by "Indian"

...for him people from:

1. Bangladesh,

2. Srilanka

3. Pakistan,

4. Nepal,

5. Burma

6. Vietnam

7 And all Arabs without thobe...especially if they are in labourer uniform...

...all are Indians...

i blame the lack of traffic enforcers.

Well you could do that or have a sign on the back of your car saying 'if you can read this you are gay'

Britexpat ladies distract us when we are driving, they don't have to be involved in the accident ;)

Thank goodness.. If all the accidents are caused by Indians and Ladies, then I should be safe :O)

I don't know to whom are these traffic sign boards for!

jeez, the freaking spammer is back! why do they always do this at this time... please keep your bloody ads to yourself and stop flooding the forum with your nonsense comments...

Did any of you hear of Lane Integrity, Maintaining a safe following distance, Right-of-Way, using your mirrors and signals? Oh yeah they teach this in driving schools, in countries that require you to attend prior to issuing you a License. Most of you come from countries that allow you to pay off the official and get a license to drive, then you come here and they reciprocate you a worthless License after you take an eye test. If you would just slow down and pay attention, it will be safer for all of us.

There is no displine when comes to driving in this country. Why they must be hurry to reach a destinations as though there is no 2moro. Please be keep those loved one in mind and drive safely forever.

Instead lets check with the concern department and findout which Nationality is top in the list, in that how many male and female.

Because Indians ratio is high dont blame just Indians,these days even others are als increasing,even Nepalis are also increasing

Not only INDIANS exile..please include..the PATANS (Pakistani) LOL! If accident you've seen in the road is fatal or car involve are totally wrecked! It's QATARI driver.. LOL!

We have to pay for a ride on the dodgem cars at home...at least it's free over here! Well,till you hit one,I guess!

roseflower If you look around Doha, you will see sand allover, you know why? Doha has only sand and there are no rocks. :)

Its not unfair. Their field of vision is restricted and although they do not drive as fast as others they change lanes without warning and drive as if they are the only people on the road.

Now what would be unfair to say is all the polish drunks on the road are a menance as well..

that is a really unfair comment! Of all the ladies wearing it I have not seen one who was an aggressive or rude driver. In fact they're all have been very polite and drove well.

Most of the accidents I've seen or heard of were unfortunately caused by men with too much testosterone ;o)

But on a serious note, I think part of the problem is that there're pple from all over the world and all of them drive according to the rules they know from their own countries... which can be quite different for different countries. So a bit of consideration for each other and less aggression should take us further than pointing our fingers at certain nationalities or certain pple ;o)

lol exiledsaint....

they see only their eyes and do makeup...:(

I blame the women who wear the niqab as well, they just can't see!

so its 12,611 road accident per month then? do we have to rejoice?

two of these are mine.... ;o)

lol Soniya...

lets sit back and enjoy bobcorn and bebsi...:)

Do u guys are interested to blame INDIANS here?? Better i shld take an exit..Don't turn this thread into harsh bashings..It's a request..

no..women are more good than male..including me..;)

but all in all..no one is perfect..from the both side are equally responsible..

on the average. Can you assume what kind of accidents are these?

gkramer: I blame the women too. lol

most of this country is inhabited by Indians, from what I can see, it stands to reason that they're involved in most of the accidents. I'd be interested to see the actual statistics on this. The Indians do most of the work in this country, so they find themselves on the road more than most too......right?

I blame the women :o)

rose, it's not always the case..

Damn! y can't i got such experience in QATAR yet?? lolz

exile, north? south?? hhaha..whats this?? who has taught u these segregation?? i can't control my laughter here..

You right Soniya, I blame the north indians and the south indians for all these aaccidents...

u r rite soniya..but in my own experience..whenever i notice any car, making trouble for the next car or behind his car,driver is always indian...i think that these people are so much scary and trying to be careful on road, create disturbance for other drivers..

flor1212--they are supposed to be reported in order to have the car fixed, but plenty of people do not bother and plenty of garages will fix minor damage without a police report.

or scratches not reported? Even self-inflicted car damage are reported for insurance claim!

FathimaH--Hire a driver. It is a lot cheaper than the medical and car repair bills will be if you start trying to drive. I saw someone in a Learner car the other day and wondered what his life span will be on these roads.

no, we dont blame any indian... its collective effort...

exile, it's not at all advisable to blame only one nationality...

Audubillah...My husband keeps telling me to get my driving licence soon but truly I'm scared. These statistics confirm my worst fears!

Blame the Indians, that's whatever one else does...
