Serious accident on E ring this morning
While out early this morning (just after 5am) there was an accident on E ring heading towards the airport road. It looked like a 30 seater "mini bus" either took a turn too fast or perhaps lost control and jumped the curb and landed on its side.
There were at least 8 ambulances at the scene at one time or another as well as 4 or 5 police vehicles. I don't know if any other vehicle was involved but it looked bad enough with just the bus.

blaming the driver itself i ...blaming the driver itself i dont think tht is fair. cos theres alot of reason tht could trigger the accident. either the car, or other ppl, or the situationn tht push the driver to take the action to avoid a bigger damage, etc.
am sure even the driver still love their own life and still wants to live. u'll never know wht will happend to ur self.......beside accident not only happend in the car....could b happend anywhere....at home, at work, gym, even when u walk, etc.
inshallah, i hope nobody is die in this accident thing.

Agree with Silvia but ...Mostly what i have noticed is that RECKLESS/CARELESS DRIVING is mostly the cause of all major accidents in Qatar
.
No doubt, no driver is that insane jeopardizing its own life but when a person gets too much overconfident at its own driving then it can be deadly.
.
Well, I just hope that there are no FATALITIES

RESPECTFUL drivers ...Driving respectfully, which means, recognizing the drivers around you and giving them space and driving the speed limit would solve this problem.
There is such a lack of respect here (on so many levels) that hazardous driving is part of the culture. Because of this fact, lives will be lost and families will continue to grieve. :(

This is the real issue!

Of course not, they don't ...Of course not, they don't know Latin where 'spectare' means to look, watch, see, and "re" means back, again. So have another look, or watch carefully, that's what "re-spect" means.
