Our flat looks on a main street in my city. Hearing the sounds of the screech of the hundreds of cars speeding is scary. We have seen through the windows lots of accidents and some deaths. Is it the roads?is it the people ? . It's scary how people die so easily and how some might not be able to walk and live a normal life again.
Today, i found this amazing video which was made by a Saudi guy after the death of his cousin in an car accidents. The video is in Arabic but has English translation. The only scary thing about it is the numbers it give. There are no disturbing images so go ahead and watch it till the last sound.
I'll never understand how people can just rip through the streets without any consideration for others! In Egypt it's the same and I was seeing people getting killed infront of my eyes so often due to dangerous driving. It's really sad.
BalasHapusI can't imagine living in a neighborhood such as you live! I saw this video earlier today. It's sad to think that 30% of hospital beds are needed for accident victims. :(
BalasHapusi'll watch when im home tonight :)
BalasHapuswhoever put that video together did a good job. it would be good if they put that on the tv stations in KSA. awareness is the first step.
BalasHapusIt's really sad! I saw this video 2 days ago, one of my husband's Saudi friends posted it. I believe this kind of dangerous driving is common in all Arab countries but I agree that the worst is in SA. I was there in Hajj last year and I was scared to death many times when we riding this bus around Mecca.
BalasHapusI guess this video is one of the steps on the right direction to correct this. They really did a good job.
Take care dear, and inshallah you will be always safe!
its so sad , but still every day many people do it like they have fun but it's mean dead to me ..
BalasHapusthat's so sad ..
