The driving!!
These guys are nuts. 100km/hr plus down the main street of Riyadh, 3 lanes converted in real-time to 6, left hand u-turns when from the far right hand side of the road, maintaining a steady 1cm between their front bumper and your rear one at any speed...you name it and it happens here.
It is also officially the most dangerous country in the world to drive. There are 17 road related fatalaties per day (who knows how many are injured).
So, what to do?
Never relax whilst driving. Treat driving like a chess game...plan 6 moves in advance. Always try to anticipate what the drivers around you are capable of possibly doing, and try to imagine the craziest things you can (eventually they WILL happen). Look everywhere. Never, ever try to use your mobile whilst driving. never try to change radio stations. Do nothing that can in any shape, way, or form distract you from your driving. Pray. Keep your anger in check. Breath deeply. Pray.
Good luck out there! :-)
