What more can I do? I’ve already complained about the issues that take place on the Gulf Road a million times already on the blog and I haven’t seen any improvement. If anything there are less cops on the Gulf Road now then there have ever been.
Note: Yes I took this picture on the Gulf Road

Stuff I think is worth sharing taken from the b-sides.

Mark and Nat, a married couple who are living in Kuwait. Mark is a creative director at an ad agency while Nat runs her own design studio called Push+Pull.
Here are some links related to this blog.
Definitely a rented Porsche and he is trying to show the world that he is on a on it and he feels out of the world !
probably drive there once a month maximum……
i take it 3 to 4 times a day sadly.
I Drive ther 3 times in a year … Worst traffic ever. I don’t mind traffic but in kuwait its so frustrating.
I wouldn’t call this traffic really since it lasts for only a few minutes. You want traffic you got to come to Lebanon. We have only one highway linking all of Lebanon. Imagine Kuwait with just the 4th ring road and no 5th, 6, 3rd.. etc.. That’s traffic.
When I visited Beirut there was an accident on that one road and literally nobody could get anywhere. OOPS the one road is clogged sorry guys
yeah it’s horrible. even with the new completed roadworks the traffic is horrible. for example we’re the only country in the world with an on-ramp that exits from the middle of the highway!
Why would you complain? Natural selection is perfectly legal.
good point
+1 internets for you sir.
:D
However, as much contempt as I feel towards these types, they still are Kuwait’s one and only future, and they are, for better or worse, my people.
This picture reflects a sad, sad reality. Life wont always be as easy as it is today, yet they, no we, continue waste it.
:(
He could be from some other Arab state taking a vacation here.
lol
If this is such a nuisance and big issue then either make the entire stretch pedestrian only or dig the roads up with speed breakers half feet deep every 100ft.
Too bad we don’t have organ donation in this country.
Organ donation and cadaver harvesting does happen in Kuwait. In fact after an accident victim dies, his kin is informed about the choice to donate organs. In fact Kuwait has one of the best Kidney transplant hospitals, with some very accomplished and experienced doctors.
I didn’t know that. Thank you
Shame. They’re must be so frustrated for living in such a closed-minded society.
Yes clearly this is frustration at a closed minded society and not being idiots who want to look cool, something that happens in all societies closed and open
See: Ghost Riding the Whip
nice photo
yeah not bad for an iphone
mark, is it safe to operate a mobile phone and click snaps while driving?? what if you caused an accident?
Mark, am a bit confused! So, you saw this on Gulfroad? and you snapped a pic?! is it a girl driving?
no its a guy driving and yes this was on the gulf road
TIL, I thought it would be the driver on top
if this is your pic i have to say it is a well taken pic
yes its my pic
My Kuwait Mantra:
They just don’t care.
They just don’t care.
They just don’t care.
When you try to be someone who gives back to society, helping in someway, and you get frustrated by what you see here, repeat the mantra.
Just enjoy it like you are seeing a giraffe in a national park.
If the giraffe loses his mind and runs over a couple zebras, I suppose it can be the same thing :)
and some of you including me commenting on posts such as these, who drives it clean?? Max 80-100kmph??loolxx. we all are the same! Nobody will change and if n all you need a change in the society, please change your self. It’s useless commenting for nothing (: hehe..
are you the guy sitting on top of the car?
Lolx,, No Not ME! I’m not supporting him nor I’m Against you my dear Friend :)
This is just how everyone is behaving in Kuwait Right now! We Point out the mistakes on others, we Comment, We laugh, We Accuse them All and then on the other hand we go on to make the same Mistake! ;)) Hahaha.. Sooo TRUE!!!!!!
I seriously did not understand anything you just said.
Summary: Don’t be a hypocrite.
That’s Exactly What my Point is! Nobody Understands, Yet they Act SMART! LOOOLXXX ;))
I must say he’s got a good grip not flying off the roof.
Exactlyyy, am trying to understand the physics!
Hahaha wish I was in front of them, I would’ve slammed the brakes and watched him fly over my car and land on the one in front.
hahahah, now that is correct physics :p
hahahaha that i would have loved to see.
its a hot pic btw, you should share the high res. one
I sent Jalopnik the hi-res, will see if they post it.
heading there now- wish me luck.
Look on the bright side.. Thats one hell of good picture (y)
You guys are so boring…. now that’s FUN!
Mark, what’s the shutter speed you took this photo at?
Not sure, its with the iphone
no way! how did u get the car to be sharp like that in such lighting conditions while not using a real camera?
Well what helped was the car being white and it was well lit from behind. Also I was traveling at same speed which is how it was sharp while background wasnt
unintentional panning :D
Best street ever, 7abitainnnn
there is only so much you can take when Linda is on the air.. i can relate to this guy.
+1
hahaha.. +1
thats actually a pretty sick pic.
The dumbass sitting on the car, his parents probably sent him off to an expensive university overseas( which during that time all he did was drink, go to strip clubs, do drugs, and gambled, and of course paid someone to take his exams for him).
Dude if ur advocating against reckless people on the road then you shouldn’t be using your cell phone clicking snaps in the first place. that’s as bad as texting or talking…your attention is not on the road!
My car was stationary and not moving.
Looking at your above posts “AND” the picture, doesn’t look like you where stationary….
I waS it’s called panning

Why would anyone be on the gulf road anyways. I’ve been here in Kuwait for like 3 years now and I did the mistake of taking the gulf road only once and never ever after that :-P
