Will they never learn?!

Another major pile up on the Abu Dhabi-Dubai highway this morning in fog, involving c.70 cars {UPDATE - now confirmed 127 cars !}. 55 people injured and 2 dead. Basically people driving too fast, too close in poor visibility. Idiots.

This paragraph is interesting:-

Of the 52 injured people admitted at Al Rahba, 16 are Emiratis, 5 Pakistanis and Indians each, 4 Egyptians, 3 Omanis, 2 Bangladeshis, 2 Jordanians, while one each from Sudan, South Africa, Uzbekistan, Palestine, Syria, Iraq and Yemen.

What, no westerners? What a shock. When will these people learn to drive sensibly!
