Some of this is on the road to Kuwait (El Khafgi) where a whole family of 5 of one of our colleague's relatives passed away in an accident last week.

Robin showed me a clip only recently and initially I did not believe this is REALLY happening! Till now I can hardly comprehend people are able to be THAT crazy, irresponsible … simply TOTALLY OUT OF THEIR MINDS!!
All values appear to have gone down the drain and the urge for destruction on top of their list … all that 's left for me is to feel sorry for them! In my eyes they are nothing but whimsical nobodies who don't know the word responsibility, have too much money - and have no clue what to do with their time!!! IDIOTS!!
People in Saudi Arabia drive cars like they drive camels. I remember few weeks ago you posted a clip showing some idiotic driving!… what's happeneing there!.
Sami,
You are doing a great dis-service to camels with your statement!! They are graceful animals who can go miles without water and give milk. The bedouins (if there are still many there) depend on their camels for so much and respect them and take care of them. These idiot kids have NO respect for these cars (why? they can always be replaced by the parents who have taught them absolutely NO respect for their possessions or the lives they imperil with this DANGEROUS passtime) Honestly, this makes my blood boil seeing what is going on in a country I lived in thirty years ago. Where are the mutawa when you need them? Oh, I forgot, they are busy policing the internet and whacking women's legs which is obviously more important than paying attention to wreckless young men smashing cars and endangering lives!!!
This is no different than Americans doing stunts?
I have viewed many videos of stupid Amrecicans doing stupid stunts.
This is a world wide problem of our youths.
We are invicible. We can do anything and we will live!
Money in the Middle East is not worth less in North America.
The stupidity is the same everywhere!
Don't give me the US laws. They mean nothing when it comes to fun.
Stupidity is universal!
Darwinian theory at it's best!! Let's just hope that these idiots keep killing themselves and the idiots who watch them. Evolution baby!!
Allah yerhamhum, I am so sorry. I will choose to praise God for Amman traffic, which keeps the speed at a survivable limit.
Robin, very clever!
Someone should notify the Darwin Awards folks

Their welcome statement says "We salute the improvement of the human genome by honoring those who accidentally remove themselves from it…
ensuring that the next generation is one idiot smarter."
I noticed they don't have Arabs on the list. It's about time they do
Your video shows a guy probably being killed. I hate these videos, yet I always click "Play" hoping that I will only see how dangerous these things are and not actually witness somebody's fate. I wish these videos didn't include the scenes of people dying. Not everyone in these videos is an idiot. Some just get dragged there and some just get convinced that it's going to be OK and they reluctantly agree to go to watch. Every one of us went through the stage when they were under peer pressure as teenagers. This is the same, and some of those who died, didn't deserve to die and did nothing to deserve to be killed by others who are idiots because they are behind the wheels.
I feel very sorry for the parents, and the friends and the families who have to deal with the tragedy of loosing someone, and then see how they died being published on the internet, with music and shit. It's just sad.
WOW. Truely disgusting, im sure this happens other places in the world and those along with these people are nutz. Its a pointless excersie to slide one side to another whats the point? Equally dumb are the people stand by the side of the roads wanting to be killed looks like. That scene where one guy is hit was a jaw dropper for sure.
I agree with Hamzeh that this being, loosely using the term, 'published' with music and precise editing is not necessary.
good point Hamzeh. If it's any comfort, it's impossible to discern from the video the identities of the victims. the irony of this deadly game is that it seems more dangerous for the audiences than the players.
Hi everyone,
“Drive like they drive camels!!”
You can’t just bring a bunch of clips and then present it just the way it was presented here and then make such a general statement about Saudi drivers. America makes profit out of such movies and you don’t hear anyone say “American drive their cars like they do nuclear weapons” we cannot be biases in our statements because that just makes us raciest. It’s sad to see such a global problem depicted as if it only happens in Saudi Arabia, and what’s even sadder is that people could make such a generalization. Its odd how envious some people are about Saudis “they don’t know where to put their money” who told you that all Saudis are rich!! You need to read more and open your horizons and don’t late hatred guide you to make such comments which only reflects who you are as a person..
Peace,
Maram
Maram,
I am hoping that you perhaps missed the above statement above the clip which read, "Some of this is on the road to Kuwait (El Khafgi) where a whole family of 5 of one of our colleague’s relatives passed away in an accident last week." I agree with you 100% that the statement that "Saudis drive their cars like camels" is a racist statement. But the fact remains, this is not only a "passtime" which KILLS it is also a SHAME on KSA for not doing more about this matter. There are clips like this all over youtube, DIFFERENT clips and I ask who is taking them? One clip appeared on the BBC sent in by a Saudi fan of this passtime, in FACT, almost all the videos posted are posted by Saudis themselves with bragging statements attached. As I stated above, this BOILS my blood for PERSONAL reasons, I lived in KSA and happen to have family who are Saudis. So when I see this bs being posted on youtube BY SAUDIS showing off their "driving skills" in such a destructive manner it is NOT because I think all Saudis are idiots, it IS because these idiots are making THEMSELVES out to be with this insane behavior. And anyone with any sense knows not all Saudis are rich and behave this way, but dear Maram, it only takes a few, and in this case there are MORE than a few, to further shame your country. And may those who Haitham knew and died in this matter be honored by KSA putting a STOP to this IMMEDIATELY!!
