Ok watch this video till the dead end..this douchebag biker has an absolute winning [or!?] day in courtroom and then some more. He is caught for speeding…
Over the weekend we had a clamour of horn honking and ecstatic drivers shouting and tyre burning on the 5th Ring Road, blocking the traffic and polluting the area. I dont get the idea of honking horns and driving on the main roads blocking the traffic in marriage celebrations. Whats more surprising this time was [...]
This is what happens when you ride a bike with no helmet and have an accident. This is especially a serious issue in Kuwait, as most, and I mean almost all bikers I have seen in Kuwait ride with helmets hanging off the back seat and they ride like crazy morons. To all such asses [...]
Seems the economic pressure is on for the big 3 of US auto-industry GM, Chrysler and Ford. Talks are rampant of imminent bankruptcy. Wonder where that would lead to in the Kuwait auto-market? There is even talk of Chinese auto-industry plans to buy in some of these auto-giants. I guess its best advisable to wait [...]
There is a major road diversion on 5th ring road towards Jawazzat [Salmiya/Hawalli immigration] round-about. Traffic is blocked from 12 tonight. The last exit to clean traffic conditions is from route 30. If you continue towards City Center, the diversion will take you into Rumaithiya. The road is blocked for City Center access from 5th [...]

International driving license is issued by [...]

As a matter of fact things were out of control as early as 7:30 am when I noticed that traffic was actually flowing in the opposite direction just before Salmiya Jawazat [immigration] Roudabout. This was a shocker as the cops were diverting [...]
Spotted this beauty down Gulf Road with gradient / chameleon car paint job. Looks fantastic when you drive past and the car color changes from lime yellow to lime green. I am pretty sure I read about this kind of paint job somewhere, just cant get the right word for it. Also would be fantastic [...]

I didnt know that KPTC [Kuwait Public Transport Corp] had school buses. Saw 4 of them plying in Kuwait city this morning. The school buses are tad smaller to the original public transport buses. But this is good thing as it would help in curbing traffic problems every morning if kids would [...]
A warning to all of us in the dead heat zones of GCC. This can happen to aerosol cans [airfreshner etc] if you leave them in the car under the sun..
Traffic department has finally figured out that the existing traffic cameras are no good. As per the GTD [general traffic department], the cameras in use now are flawed and will be replaced by radar based cameras. In case you are wondering what a photo radar camera looks like here is a pic.
Since traffic department sources [...]
