I love to drive in this city.
People is so nice, and drive is so smooth and wonderfull..

Everybody relies on the others, thats why they enter in the roundabouts without watching... it is like the experiment of leave yourself drop because you know that your friend behind will take you...

And they know that everybody is so considered. Thats why they change directly of lane without a sign. They know that everybody is taking care of everybody...

It is so beautifull to find that people here relies so much in the others...

I think Im going to cry of the emotion

It is so common here that people change the lane as they enter the roundabouts without warning or indicator. I had to save my car myself without relying on the other's manner of driving so many times here. The traffic is not that nice here, some vehicles just charge like a bullet violating the speed limits and it seems they are coming to hit you straight if you dont get away :-).

How upset you must be.

But don't fret about it...

Shuffle is right, defensive driving is the key and patience.

Brit i havent had any accidents but lots of "near miss".

Please correct me if I am mistaken, in perfect world people driving inside the round-about have priority over the one entering it.

"It's like a dance"

Now everyone will have to put on the same music before they enter the road so that everyone will be on the same note and no one will crash!

It's like a dance, and once you know the steps you just know what others are going to do, as long as you're observant at all times. It's the traffic I hate...

driving in Qatar. As long as you have your wits about you, everything including the roundabouts is fine.

eu61, you are right. It's not like in Spain, where one is el toro and the others the toreros.
