Video of crazy drunk driver in Qatar goes viral

Doha 2003
By Doha 2003

Some crazy drunk driver decided to drive the WRONG way down the highway - until a super brave Qatari decided to stand in front of the car and stop him! 

Skip to 4:44 to see that bit. Here is the video, and the description from Jihad Masoud who took it:

My friends and I were cruising around Doha at 2:30 am (as we normally do on weekends) and we decided to go check out the new HIA (Hamad International Airport) as I hadn't seen it...still haven't :(

Just as we were about to take the exit for the airport from the highway, we saw a dark blue Mercedes with the driver side door opened, parked in the middle of the road just before the exit. 

Curious, we stepped out of the car thinking perhaps the driver might be sick and possibly needed medical attention.

As soon as we approached the car, we immediately realized...the driver (male) was drunk; the car was reeking with alcohol.

One of my friends immediately notified the police while my other friend and I tried to keep him in his car and wait for the cops to arrive.

Unfortunately, we made a gigantic mistake by letting him get back in his car...we were somehow blinded.

What we should have done was taken his car keys and pinned him down or something :P He drove off.

In the hopes of rectifying our mistake and for the sake of humanity, we chased him.He sped up and pulled over on the side and so did we.

Just as we pulled over, the driver then reversed out on the highway, and started driving (in the opposite direction!).

We took a U turn from the signals at the end of the highway (which thankfully weren't far and were green) and started speeding in order to find him on the other side.

That's when I started to shoot the video...

What happened later?

Well, a few other guys stopped and also called the police. The police arrived, arrested the man and took him away...as of now, we don't know what happened to him.

MYS, you cannot say that "it cant be a Qatari national for sure". because I myself had seen a drunk Qatari national driving from a restaurant in Doha. he was already shouting in the bar, me and wife were dining in the restaurant. the staff later on urged him to go by taxi, but he drove back his lexus.

again, here in my comment above, I did not say he is from any particular nationality, I was just interested whether the authorities would reveal his identity as they did last week ( if at all this funny story is a true incident). cheers mate.

what I am waiting to see is whether his nationality is revealed and gets 40 or more lashes. we read a similar news a week back, so just keen. or to know that justice is categorized here and this news will be forgotten as usual.

Lol MYS. Of coooouuurrrsse he's not Qatari. What sort of person would be driving around in that car?

We just need to wait for the news reports of this in the press and to see whether anyone is given 40 lashes. Or if it all just goes away quietly.

y get drunk nd drive... get drunk nd sleep in d car... just imagine driving on the wrong side of the road... in case he crash on to another vehicle... in Doha many drink nd drive... specially on weekends.... best place is for the police is to be at the places where is parties or occasions... so that they could check each and everyone to find who are drunk...
