432,000 is too much considering that the over all qatar population is more than 1 million only,that means almost all of the registered drivers have commited/incured accidents.as per the observations most drivers specially SUV cars are arrogant/proud/king of the road/using cp and not minding other vehicles path,its also the no. 1 cause of death and injuries here in qatar.
