Lesson Learnt??? Don't think so...

In case you might wonder… it seems pretty humid here in Dubai. While en route to office today, going through that terrible traffic congestion (which reiterates my desire to avoid staying someplace too far or other part of the city), noticed a dense fog in the area, check out the picture.

The business building almost lost in the dense fog

Some would aware of the recent major traffic accident in UAE, where 20+ cars pile up and leaving 200+ injuries and at least 4 death. Well, it was reported the fog was a possible contributor to this accident. But if you ask me, I would think it just ONE of the contributor, cos another major factor is the way people drives here is crazy too. As I mentioned, on my way here to office, there is pretty dense fog throughout the journey, but the way the road user drives remain reckless. No sign of road courtesy and cutting into lanes in normal. Pick up at high speed in the traffic jam in attempt to prevent other drivers fill up that empty space before you do. Horning is a common gesture to put your point across. Initially, been boring on the cab so attempt to count the number of horn I hears throughout the journey but eventually gave up as the horns took place almost every second. These people just dun have the patient at all.

Think if they had learn anything from that accident??? Nah… More to come in future.
