Slow life in the fast lane

Every day it happens. Travelling along Sheikh Zayed Road, you come across a knot in the traffic, everyone bunched up together and swerving round something.

That something can be any size and shape, but they all have one common denominator - driving significantly more slowly than the surrounding traffic, yet refusing to move to a slower lane on the right. ffs, why?!

Ignorance. Arrogance. Stupidity. Or a combination of all three.

Such behaviour is inexcusable. If you want to drive slowly, drive in a slow lane. That way, people who want to drive at the available speed limit will be able to do so unimpeded.

But no. These middle lane numpties bimble along in blissful ignorance, chatting away on the phone, picking their teeth or catching up with the day's news, all the while oblivious to the chaos they cause.

Hanging's too good for 'em...

They just have no knowledge of lane driving - the rules vary around the world anyway so everyone brings their own knowledge with them. It's a strong case for a Highway Code for the UAE and everyone to have to take a driving test here.
