Distractions while driving
By Elegantlady •
I had a narrow escape this morning. A gentleman was very busy on personal grooming and texting completely ignored me while he was changing to the left lane where I was going at 80. Thankfully I managed to escape this arogant guy however we can't expect to be the luckiest everyday. These common distractions while driving, which though look quite simple, have the tendency to trigger a disaster.
At the end of the day, it is these norms of safe driving that can make your journey safe, and free of accidents.Wish you safe driving all of you.
one time it distracts me while driving when ive seen an enforcement officer in uniform driving obviously using a cell phone...
you have to drive in 3D
honestly in my daily road to work from Waab to Westbay. I know 2 places where there's 80% to have/find accident every day:
- Waqood Teyseer petrol station
- Signal near Barzan Tower
I just keep left lane on those
Nothing new at all, just be active and cautious, and rest leave it to Allah...
i agree with you..personally i experienced a road accident here sometime in february..i was rush to the hospital because of that..now whenever i'm on the road, i always fear roundabouts, intersections for the fear of another accident again..
you are right... defensive driving is a must in this country.. though this had been a redundant topic however this is worth reading for a good reminder for everybody.
happygolucky,
I think we all should go on a defensive driving program to ensure that one is not caught in a road accident...
Smoking is OK while driving, it doesnt seem to distract...personal grooming, texting, reading newspaper..well we have read them all so many times here..but what to do yani...:)
Rizks..I am in Qatar and becoming tired of the guys who smoke cigarettes while driving, why can't they always pull the car to the side of the road and satisfy the urge?
We just have to Pray with our GOD to be safe at all times.
CARELESS PEOPLE ARE EVERY SIDE OF THE ROAD!
WE JUST NEED TO BE MORE ALERT & DEFENSIVE WHILE DRIVING.
My Sense
That is normal everyday along the road, you'll find drivers using cellphones, but what really surprised me and catched my full attention, i have seen local driving land cruiser and guess what? he is reading the local news papers very carefully---:0 what can you say?
Me too get distracted when i wait on Signals and i see a lady making her lipsticks and kissin lookin at the mirror....:(
I was nearly run over by a guy on a bike ;O(
i personally make sure i dont use cell phone while driving, but cant expect it from others though.
I had a narrow escape yesterday night when an arab guy in his accord almost hit me while speaking on his cell phone... no points for guessing he was hardly concentrating on his driving.
hav u landed Qatar ?
