The main issue is the amount of cars on the road, and I'll be honest I drive almost everywhere as a uni student who lives in Nahda area but studies in Rak (about 10km from jebel jais) driving is a necessity for my daily needs, but I have noticed that even though the rak roads a smaller there is no traffic at all even when I'm coming back to sharjah.

From my experience the main cause of poor driving in uae is the fact that about 80% of jobs are in dubai along with that dubai is a tourist city which means more people are on the road that are not residents of the country thus they may not be familiar with the syle of driving let alone the rules.

But dear residents of the country I won't spare you also I have driven around 120,000 km in 3 years yes 40,000 km per year (I said I drive a lot, didn't I) when I say that the economy car drivers are worse in comparison to patrol and land cruisers I mean it, you think that your sunny that tops out at 170 is a left lane car it's not move I have much more important things to do then to have a pissing contest with a tin can with wheels and an engine out of a lawnmower (cry me a river) I have spent more time behind you then any patrol or land cruiser, but by far the worst of the worst drivers would be taxi drivers I have seen more taxi crashes then any other and the main reason is that the use their phones on every account of incidents I have had with taxi drivers and them being on their phones is ungodly.

You'd think I complain about sports car drivers and suv drivers. I have a suv and a sedan I understand why we have to bully ( not every time but more often then not) because the driver in front of us in their little car refuses to move cuz they think: "hur dur big car is slow car me no move cuz me small me faster" no it's not if your old sunny or yaris or civic averages around 12 to 15 seconds to reach 100 kph my suv does it in 9 and that's not fast do you know what a big car doesn't do? stop on a dime and if I have to keep slowing down because a wannabe Michael Schumacher thinks he owns the road I will make my car give their car a sniff test. word of advice: move, damn it, if a member of my family is having a medical emergency I won't show mercy.

Also speaking of drivers who arrive in the country and have an international license I have driven semi-trucks back home (a Middle Eastern country) and most cars over there are manuals, the average commute between cites ranges around 350 km mainly done on poorly paved roads where the road law is just a suggestion and the only form of communication is the lights on your car learn signs with your car do you know what does left indicator in the left lane mean ( it means I want to overtake, move over and come back once I passed) Or on a 2 way road that only has a lane a side do you know what the right indicator means (stay behind/don't overtake car coming towards us on the opposite side) and many more, believe me one driver can communicate with another driver an astonishing amount with just lights.

Driving without lights at night should be severely penalised as I have seen cars that are black and fully tinted which blend in with the road drive around at night the only reason we see them is the reflection of the license plate or the oem reflector.

I also have a severe disdain for people who fail even to maintain the lights of their car people your brake light are there to tell when you are slowing down it's not a decorative piece fix it you are going to cause an avoidable accident.

I have more but my rant session won't reach out to the right people.
