While James is riding a wave in Bali, Jeff Price has taken over his seat!
Myself (Masarat) and Xan joined him to speak about the drivers' attitudes and behaviour on the roads of UAE. Do we disrespect the rules? Do we drive better in our home countries? Do we need more awareness or maybe we need more police presence to 'scare' people? And hey...what are fog lights? There are many who still don't know about it! As told by our Car Expert, Adam, there is not much awareness towards fog lights in this part of the world. So go to your nearest garage or your dealer and make sure that you have fog lights. And make sure that you know how to use it!
We were also joined by Abdulla Al Kazim, a doctor at Mafraq Hospital in AD who was on the other side of the road on the fateful March 11. He assisted the Police and Paramedics in dealing with the injured. A first-hand perspective!
Call 800-4353 to report dangerous drivers.
Many interesting view points! Does the black points system work? It remains to be seen. But what we agreed upon was that the AD Police handled the situation very efficiently.
James Piecowye took over Nightline in October 2006 until it was canceled in June 2018. The cast and crew of Nightline decided to keep the show going and this is where James posts the notes.

Hala Fatma,
I openly admitted on air that I have absolutely no clue what fog lights are and obviously, I got laughed at! I don't mind that because I know that a lot of my (girl)friends don't know what fog lights are.
...and I've been driving for 7 years now!
It was an interesting show. We have some great episodes lined up once James returns. We're talking about Food Safety and Hygiene on March 30 (Sunday) with Xan and Jeff. We have a guest from Dubai Municipality too, Insha'allah.
Should be fun! Thanks for the post!
