As for the attitude, that comes with this country. As an expat we have no rights here. No rights to vote or get things our way. This surely ain't my country.
The labour law is archaic - exit visas, restriction on moving from co's, sponsorship laws etc.
That said we are taking and accepting (no choice) these risks while earning our living in this country. Thats why is say "Just give way" to these guys - keep cool and composed and believe me we'll all have a great day. By honking at these guys and getting run off the road all you'll do is work yourself up and give your wife a lot of tension and stress (surely not required)
Soon Doha will become like Dubai (bumper to bumper traffic). Then you'll have even more traffic problems and even more crazy drivers :-) - locals and expats - all in a hurry to get somewhere
As for vehicles - only Landcruisers give you that power to defend yourself. Anything else are just "mobile speedbreakers" - DO NOT DARE HONK - least you'll annoy Mr.Landcruiser. Forget the small SUV's.
So just enjoy the awesome weather we have now, make our money while we can and just get the **** outta here....
Have a great day...got lots of work to get completed before the weekend.........
