What those drivers are doing is not new to the populance and authority. I withness it first from the air port, secondly, on my way to the medical high commission with my friends who are new in Qatar. Many more i discovered after i got familiar with Qatar.What i do now when i am going on a long distance is to negotiate with the cab driver or tell him to follow my instruction,if he agreed good, if not, i wait patiently for another cab or private cab..I think the morale of these cab drivers are very low. You can actually win them over by chatting with them about poor salary, family and a better tomorrow. if you do this, he will take you through short cuts to your destination and if you pay less, he would mind cos he believed you are just as poor as himself.
