If they're losing arms while sober, a pint probably won't help.

These chaps were acting the bollocks with their own and (more importantly) other peoples lives. I feel no pity or mercy for them. You live by the sword...

Having been there and driven there I'm not very surprised to be honest. The regular drivers there are the worst I have ever seen. No regard for anything that resembles rules of the road or any type of safety.

I've never seen a Saudi (or any non westerner there) wear a seatbelt in a car. "Allah will protect me" is very much the mentality.

Drifting is a recent enough pastime there although the recent habit of stealing cars from westerners is proving unpopular (with the westerners anyway).

So agree.

Why would someone even call that drifting. Atleast in normal drift you are in control of you car and with all this "Arab drifting" the idea is just to push car to the limit so it would lose all control.
Then again doing this on public road with very heavy traffic? Really?

Drive like a fcukin loon without seatbelts, drift on a public hi way, but if you dare smoke in your car during ramadan, you get six nights in the clinky clank & deported. Not nice place to be, happened to my mate over there.


Saudi is nuts.

I just realized from watching the video that there must be some type of psychological reaction to these things as I instinctively put my hands to cover my hand at the sight of it. I wonder was there any survivors as there appeared to be four lads in the car?

All I see on the video is few casualities of someone's stupid behaviour on the road.
That happens everyday nearly everywhere.
I know we don't see it on a video for everyday, but each one of us can end up like that tomorrow by his own or someones mistake.

^^ I bet if you asked a selection of AGS and Medical staff that have attended RTA's you'd find they see this kind of thing all the time.
not pretty but RTA's generally aren't that nice.

Leaving this open and closing the recent Rally thread would be pointless, it's only going to go one way and that's in the direction of the above post.

Have some respect.
