kUWAIT A NICE PLACE TO LIVE/??

• Then why is the death toll on the road so high that you can't even find stats on it??? This inshallah attitude they have toward driving on the roads and not strapping in their kids but letting them hang out the window and out the sun roof and letting them loose and packed a dozen to a seat in the pack, is atrocioius and frightening! The children are the victims who don't have a voice - who don't know to ask their parents to invest in a decent child seat restraint...they trust in adults who let them become missiles when brakes are slammed and metal crushes against metal. Having the Fahaheel expressway listed as one of the deadliest freeways in the world is not something to be proud of as a nation. The roads are in pretty good condition given the extreme weather, the cars are new, so it's down to driver error and irresponsible, discourteous driving. why doesn't the govt invest in training their traffic police, start imposing serious fines and enforcing the laws that supposedly exist (instead of sitting in their car sleeping or chatting on their mobile as someone zooms by at 200Km an hour, or a woman with a child on her lap and a mobile to her ear weaves in and out of traffic, or some moron drives past a line of traffic in the emergency lane). A little care and a little common courtesy is all that's needed! Come on Kuwait...join the civilised world in terms of driving practices!!!
