Why Speeding ?

On my way back to my house, I noticed this upside-down Tida in "Gulf Road" near "Burj Al-Hmam" and I start wondering .. why do people speed-up specially here in Kuwait ?
Some say that he/she might be on a hurry because he/she has a meeting or something. Even if this is true, you'd prefer to arrive late or have an accident ?

When someone tells you that we will meet at 6:00pm it doesn't mean that you have to drive at 6:00pm to get there at 6:00pm ! It doesn't even make sense !

One other thing, please stop the boys follow girls and girls follow boys "thingy" in streets. We are adults .. not kids anymore and streets are not play grounds for those who wanna play chasing !


God be with you all, drive safe !

man i dont think that will ever stop the speeding because mind set of people here is that we all have to compete to see who has the best car who has the fastest who can "batwin" or zig zag between cars in tight spaces, all those car racing movies have effected the minds of our people which is sad.. also on the chasing part its just childish i agree i never did that chasing part because i know its dangerous and it puts peoples lives at risk which is not worth it.. i know a guy who's cousin was badly injured in an accident because a guy was chasing her and she was tryin to lose him she wasnt paying attention then she crashed into a light post and the guy just kept on driving on looking for his next "victim" just sad i swear it hurts me to see these things happen but the more farther we get into the future the more immature people get...

I hope that they set a new law that nobody buy sport cars unless he become 23 years old or 25

naa 7amood i dnt think thats goin to make a difference cuz most of the guys that have the m6's m5's o all these cars are around that age, but ya the law for the people who just get their license should only be allowed a 4 cylinder car for at least a year then when they become safe drivers they can get a 20 cylinder car lo yaboon =P

i have an idea, why dont they put a powerpoint presentation about car accidents as a requirement for every new student who enters all the universities here in kuwait. They can educate their stupid freinds who do this type of " zig zag" or "following girls" driving to stop it and even show them the powerpoint slides thatare filled with accidents, blood and gore. the presentation should really have a serious impact on them even with questions like " what if this happened to your relative, your sister??etc"...

there is a way to stop this also as a girl. i am a girl and yeah idiot do sometimes want to folow me but you know how i stop them? I ignore them by NOT staring at them!!!! Guys get bored less than 1 minute and leave ytou alone! I have seen so mnay naive girls especially in the Gulf Streets who whenever a guy stares at her, she stares back like aqn idiot and gets followed the whole way.

I also think I know why they do this...because they are bored, there is seriously not that much to do for us young ppl of kuwait as a foreigner or a local. Kuwait neeeds to come up with ideas for enteratainment or create soemthing unique for young ppl.

i agree with the other's above, they should stop young ppl from driving these sport cars, or atleast make some law for them to be 25 or over to recive a sport car. Kuwait is all about showing off because we dont have anything to do here except malls and malls ,scientific center, beaches, restuarants where guys stalk girls.

haha ee 7amood afa 3alaik n'9ab6ik 3ala el sigala =P
and i do agree with you on that sue about the girls staring back, and ya they should put some entertainment places here in kuwait since everyone always do the same things malls malls and malls and more malls, thats why i think that the more they segregate work places, schools and universities just keeps increasing this chasing games of cats and dogs in the malls and on the streets, like if they keep schools mixed and with CAMERA's everywhere so that nobody does anythin stupid like AUK did, then that would just slowly slow down the chasing games but that's what I think personally...

What do you guys think?

MRM said...

YEAH!! i totally agree with u guys,, seriuously there's nothing entertainin here in kuwait,that's y they show off coz they have nothing else to do,,
