They drove like that in Saudi Arabia when I was there in '90-'91, but the cars were all white Chevy Caprices...

I love how the boneheads on the roadside cheer - obviously oblivious to how close to death they were...

I was only just able to make it through about 2 mins.

I have a hard time understanding their attitude. I can sort of understand that the money for cars or tickets isn't an issue for them, but their cavalier attitude about safety is hard to fathom.

Do some youtube searches for arab drifting accidents or arab accidents. You'll see others where folks are at least seriously injured if not killed.

I assume they don't really get in trouble for driving like idiots, but what sort of trouble happens if they kill someone?

Who's got the money? Dead guy or not dead guy? Just like the US where you can buy a "not guilty" they can prob buy off the guy's family.

Oh, and IMO they look like they are trying to see who can come closest to the bystander vehicles...

I'd rather see them doing that than strapping bombs to their chest.

Good point.



I think a lot of these vids come from Dubai.

Yes, well we know they have no regard for human life....so this sort of crap is to be expected I suppose.

Gotta admit, the guys in the first video have some drifting skillz. And guns. Strange combo.
