Traumatized driving a small car!

so you are one of them who like to through other away and then .....u know wat i mean

anat123: Insurance doesn't pay for everything, there's always a part you pay, even for "comprehensive" insurance.

As for me, I usually can get another car without renting.

is there no low to force the motorist to pay when he hits another car and the other driver has no fault? Insurance will pay the car maintenance cost but in case he(owner of damaged car) needs to hire a car during maintenance why not the other driver(who hitted the car) should pay the hire cost for that period? Now people do not bother to hit another car because they know he has insurence and they will pay but if he himself requires to pay for hire in period when the damage car is in the garage then they will feel some heat.

i saw a pink concrete mixer truck..it was so cute!

Yeah, this Mercedes does too, kind of a mauve. The color would look VERY good on me!

Mandi

No! But I saw a bright pink BMW 745Li..

Looked awesome :)

Qatar is a land of land cruiser.

Britexpat, have you seen the lipstick-pink Mercedes now tooling around Doha? I think of you everytime I see it.

Mandi

I do the same thing.. I gather speed using the gradient of the hill and get my pink KIA right up the bumper of the car in front. Then I let them have it with my Xenon lights.. Boy, are they surprised.

Bleu, is that the white Land Cruiser with the QL sticker on it?

Mandi

I regularly tailgate, flash, and bully cars of all sizes when I'm in my white Landcruiser.

Leave all that and be a good driver never think like this every car is fine. Some people are like that u have to make a rough driver so nobody can overtake u.

Very cute heavy :)

i sympathise and emphathise with you... i drive a small car and im a lady driver... so its a double whammy for me... no lets say triple whammy, i drive to work everyday and i work at the industrial area.

pray before you drive... it helps!:-)

You found my "cross dressing' photograph...It was supposed to be private..

LOL, Drac, I googled the exact same thing, and saw this was the only one in the UK, owned by this rather healthy young lady. She painted it pink (cost her 10,000 GBP right?) in support of breast cancer.

I've been driven off the road in my small car and my SUV. Doesn't seem to make a difference honestly.

Thank you all for your comments. I think my husband has read and conculed to buy a 4x4;)

Then its my turn. Watch out! i am going to zip in and out;)

this is qatar, you are in qatar. regardless of the lane you are in, tailagating is inevitable.

silent "G"

OMG, Amoud, do you do that too? Thought I was the only one.

Mandi

I actually tailgate TO READ bumber stickers sometimes.... _____________________________________________________

Darude..I think Bumper sticker will not give any good ..If they are intelligent enough to read that, they will not tailgate or bully other drivers..atleast my brother told so when I asked about putting one Baby onboard sticker.

lol, deedee, the laws of physics are different here. 2 cars can occupy the same space here is you try hard enough.

Because of the driving habits here it is much safer to drive a big car. I've had big cars, little cars, motorcyclists (talk about a death wish) cement trucks and everything else under the sun try to cut me off, turn in front of me, merge into my lane on top of my car etc etc etc. Unfortunately that seems to be the norm here.

Gypsy, so i assume you never had any experience or maybe you had a bumper sticker?;)

God damn the crocodile tears i hate

Lol, I am sick today. "Zip" is a funny word in arabic.

Da I can also cry on cue :)

The only way to effectively keep yourself out of the police station filing accident reports is to practise defensive driving. You can never take for granted that someone would "never in a million years" turn right when they are in the left lane.... you have to expect all sorts of craziness here.

I said it a million times, driving in Qatar is an extreme sport. _____________________________________________________

"Diplomacy is the art of saying 'Nice doggie' until you can find a rock - Will Rogers"

zip in and out.

we still have a race on friday will see then :D

Haha.. how bout this?

Darude says''Dont get close or i will use my brakes.

Or find your way out buzz off u muff.'' :)

I drive a small car. I prefer it cause it allows me to zip in and out between the bigger cars. :)

you get a nice smellin rose and i get the weird nasty ticket.

Get a nice sticker on your back bumper.

Dont get close or i will use my brakes.

Or find your way out buzz off u muff.

oh wait let me think more

Heres a trick.... wait till they are right up your backside, pull up behind a smaller car then quickly pull over to the right. Thats always interesting when they are attemping to blow by you only to see another car (Evil isnt it?)

Hehe, come on Da, if we got into some raod rage incident, I would surely come out smelling the rose ;) You know how the police can be here sometimes

Thanks Darude! Inspite of being on the middle or right lane, it just doesnt help. Its like an eagle waiting to catch its prey. They purposely tail gate and see that you move off the road whichever lane you maybe...

dont you get in my way or me will throw you off the road.

Da, I have been here too long, I have started to adopt Qatar driving habits.

I have no issue whatsoever in the Beemer, it is a little trickier in the Ford Edge, but I can still bully the smaller cars :) (Kidding guys before I get the comments :))

keep yourself in middle lane or the right lane and you will be fine.

So I've heard! It's not just you, it's the car. My neighbor traded his Lexus sedan for a Cadillac Escalade for the same reason.

Mandi

I sympathize with you. Up until 2 years ago I drove a sedan car, without much problem. Things have gotten worse, the driving wasnt always this bad here. I now drive a relatively large SUV as I live on a very dangerous highway. It may not make a lot of difference but the bigger car helps in not being road bullied and I feel a bit more secure with my kiddies in the car.

Expensive cars also help lol, people are scared to hit you in case they gotta pay for any damage as insurance companies here arent very reliable.
