Wow, that's disturbing. The whole thought of being impaled or sliced in half is for some reason much more frightening than a regular crash where you just get your head bashed in. I guess because your much more likely to stay alive for a minute or two while you bleed out. I'm glad I'm reading this now and not tonight when I was trying to go to sleep.

yeah...as a test driver for my company we are always told to obey all traffic rules. No speeding and always be a defensive driver and now that I'm used to it, I'm always anal about people speeding especially at night in the middle of no where. Besides I'm not in a rush to finish the route early and then restart it. Corpus Christi is rated 10 on the top ten worst drivers in the country, and its true. Also has anyone watch "red asphalt" in their drivers ed class?

yeah when I was in highschool. I didn't think it was horrible pictures since rotten.com was up and running back then but it was graphic. I thought the big wooden posts under the garud rails were immovable. I have seen semi trucks hit them and basically bend them a little and go straight over the railing. Crazy that little 330 did that.

since the UAE seems to have no police on the road whatsoever, you can assume he was going an insane speed, so poor judgement leads to poor results.

on that note, is it true that there are literally no police enforcing traffic laws on the roads around dubai?

Not true, The traffic laws there are tough. G37Sam got his car impounded for doing a tiny drift while making a U-turn. His friends got multiple tickets and stuff. They even have an option to view all their tickets online with ease....
