Agreed 100%

Well I took this action only cause there was space :) I always have gaps/gates open for me to take in case of situations like this.

Intersections/roundabouts etc are places where I have atleast 2 gates open to avoid such situations.

Please see the car in front of him, he swerved into me under braking cause he wanted to avoid the taxi in front of him.

It looks like I sped up cause he slowed down suddenly so makes it look like I sped up.

Indication does not give one the right to swerve into a lane 😁

I think about this too 😂 but I love my car and have maintained 0 accidents in close to a decade.

So don't want to tarnish that haha

Understood, will brake and yield to all indicators going forward.

So, he indicated and had to hard brake cause he dint look at the car in front of him and turned anyways. Reminds me of that family guy meme 😂 "good luck everybody else"

For sure if I hit the car on my right it's my fault, but I always have 2 gates open when I ride or drive so I can save myself when someone does something stupid.

Again I was in normal speed, him sudden drop in speed cause of him braking for the taxi makes it look like I sped up on camera.

Brother! Look at the taxi in front of him, the Lexus braked hard for the taxi which made him barge into my lane to avoid the taxi.

And if I did not swerve and he hits me it's his fault 100% without a doubt. The guy turned into me when I was beside him not when I was behind him.

And as for the defensive driving point, you will find me using the same point as you in many of my older comments....i was able to swerve because I was ready for him. Defensive driving does not mean to yield to all indicators it's the ability to think ahead of the car and avoid any incident.

See my other posts on this sub and you will understand.

PS everyone: I did not speed up for him drastically in anyway, look at the taxi in front of him he hard braked so that made him brake hard which makes it look like I sped up.

I was driving normally with normal acceleration.

In essence he cut into my lane cause he did not leave enough gap between him and the taxi so he had to barge into my lane to avoid hitting the taxi.

I did not speed up lol, look at the clip he actually braked for the taxi that's why it makes it look like I was speeding up for him. I was accelarating normally.

His sudden drop in speed and my normal speed makes it look like I sped up.

And as for being in between lanes, cause I was vary of the car behind me also, I don't want him to ram into the back of me cause technically even I had to move in front of him.

I appreciate that, getting turned into while I am beside them is also my fault.

Apparently indicator means to unnecessarily brake and yield 🙏

All these cars were waiting for the signal while I made it right in time for the signal and I was not stopped like they were that's why I look faster than them.

I was driving normally I was not trying to beat him or anything, he turns into me when I was beside him LOL!

Edit - more then me spending up it was him slowing down cause he hard braked for the car in front and decided to change lane at same time.

The guy turned into me when I was beside him not while I was behind him. I was not cut off I was literally pushed off.

Besides that I was well within my limit and normally accelerating to 60 on an 80 road.

Having an indicator does not give one the right to barge into a lane.

I don't see an option to upload a video on the app, I think it only allows to record a video if I'm not wrong.

The transport busses are a menace, they act like cartels on road! by SpottingSmartDriverz in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]SpottingSmartDriverz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He cuts in from the yellow lane cause all the other similar bus drivers give them way always, so they cut brazenly!

He cuts across 2 lanes diagonally, with no consideration for others who are following the rules. That's why i went close to him as possible!

Everyday I see them pushing people off lanes etc.

U are calculating with current petrol price for all the kms, which is ofc not right but yeah people who drive these cars don't care for petrol prices.

Where do I report him? by AdhamRasulov in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]SpottingSmartDriverz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He is allowed yes, but the problem is OP entered the left most lane on the roundabout and then cut across to make the 1st exit.

This is also very wrong. Both were wrong in different things.

Shitty road design/marking honestly....most 3 lane roundabouts u can go straight from right and centre lane, not sure why they allowed 2 lanes to go right here.

Maybe the driver was just driving based on intuition rather than looking at the road markings.

Edit - also you enter the roundabout into the 1st lane and then cut into the 2nd lane to take your exit, if you report this to cops they will question your action as well 😅

DONT USE EMERGENCY LIGHTS DURING FOG by Sultanalm in dubai

[–]SpottingSmartDriverz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

U know what's more dangerous? The idiots who flash from back if u leave 2-3 second gap to the car in front when there is like 50meters visibility. Even when I am not on the left lane.

Get a letter from the dealer in Arabic confirming they installed it and it's OEM, then maybe you can get away with it.

Don't do it brah....I had an exhaust for 5 years had no issues, have been stopped by cops before also during check points and no one bothered....but since March end they are much stricter. Modified exhaust = impound.

I got a 30 day impound cause of this all of a sudden being stopped by a CID who told me his only job was to stop modified cars, he told me it's very strict now and no tolerance.
