I think Bahrain has the best drivers (comparatively). Ofcourse of late with the influence of all the saudi's, kuwaiti's and qatari's who throng into Bahrain - their habits are rubbing on to the Bahraini's. It is become a curse to drive in Dubai – people cut you off – perfectly understandable because of the crazy traffic out there. I too was run off the road for completely no fault of mine the first time I was in qatar. My only fault was that I honked that guy cause he completely didn’t see my car (small hired car and not a landcruiser) while I was already in the roundabout. That was a year and a half back and I’ve learnt from that. Just give way – it ain’t my country. I had one Qatari friend of mine tell me – these traffic laws are just for the expats. That sums it all. Have you come across a whole bunch of guys stalling traffic with their hazard lights on while one of them do doughnuts on the MAIN roads. Where da cops?

I learnt about tailgating and middle lane left/right turn in qatar!!
