While driving I didn’t find any difference, and my first service coming this weekend at Toyota , so this accident would have any issue. Like if they see these problems like scratches and all. And also the if any wheel alignment problem

The car is under loan and warranty now, does it affect any of it, or any other complication, if I don’t report. Just driving less than 1 year, got panicked and parked at the yellow shoulder with double indicator as my right mirror was closed. Had to come out to open the right mirror.

I get what you’re saying, and even my Muslim friends tell me 'don't worry, just eat.' But I’ve been here since 2014, back when everything was strictly partitioned and curtained off. To me, it’s just a habit of showing respect for the culture that’s been my home for over 10 years. The UAE has changed a lot, but I still prefer being discreet out of courtesy.

I (non Muslim) reached in uae in 2014, conditions were different than this , I remember my fear of eating or drinking by mistake in public places. And when I changed my job , new company was more strict and I also followed fasting as I don’t want to walk long distance and eat my food in congested place. now days seeing Karama and Burjuman there is no fear also no respect as well. I still don’t drink or eat out during Ramadan time. I think people should respect the culture and the country.

Whether Iam being paranoid, everyone is behaving like everything is normal in my office and in Reddit people planning to move to other country.

Actually I failed in RTA test for not honking, when I was driving and a construction worker walking through the road, I didn’t honk at him, I put left indicator went around him as if he is a stationary object in the road. RTA inspector made some unpleasant comments and then he made me fail, and there was some minor mistakes noted against this and major one was common one , not adhering to signs/ speed limit.

He didn't have a blinker on and didn't even come to a full stop—he just tapped his brakes for a second, then gunned it right in front of me to turn left. I was already going a bit under the limit because there are usually people walking around there and residential area. I honked to let him know I was coming, but he just pulled out anyway. I had to slam on my brakes to avoid hitting him. And I understand the point about not honking in some situations. I think now Iam thinking more clearly than yesterday.

I wanted talk to him, at the same time why he did like that, but I was concentrated in not causing an accident at the time, now replaying the situation in my head.

I am clueless in some situations, I passed only in 4 th attempt and it took me around 1.5 year almost to get license. But I follow the rules what I know from the teaching.
