Drivers from the Arab society are involved in causing traffic accidents far beyond their share in the population • According to the report, drivers in the sector are involved in 36% of the total number of accidents • Police officials: This is a national problem, the punishment mitigates and there is no deterrence.
The carnage on the roads: a confidential report by the Israel Police states that despite their proportion in the population in general and among those with driver's licenses in particular, the involvement of the residents of the Arab society in Israel in fatal road accidents is much higher than their share in the population, and in the majority of the accidents - they are the ones responsible for causing the accident. The report reveals that the majority of accidents involve young drivers aged 17-23, and despite their high involvement in fatal accidents, only 40% of those killed are residents of Arab society. "It should be put on the table. Unlike Jewish society, where when a driver's license is denied, for example, he stops driving, in Arab society many continue to hold the wheel and pose a danger to all drivers on the roads."
Drivers from Arab society make up 19% of all drivers' license holders in Israel. According to the police report that refers to all the traffic accidents that have occurred from the beginning of 2021 until now, the poor condition of the vehicles in Arab society, the distance between the place of residence and the place of work and the lack of an alternative to public transportation cause the travel (the number of kilometers traveled by the motor vehicles) to be high and pirated. The report also shows that drivers from Arab society are involved in 36% of all accidents and in 52% of fatal accidents. In 86% of all accidents, it was found that the same drivers are to blame for causing the accident. It also shows that drivers from Arab society are more involved in the accidents that occur on the intercity roads (58%). On those roads, they are involved in 60% of the fatal accidents, and in 80% of them they are found to be the culprits. "Mostly they leave the village, go on rampages, run amok and cause accidents," says a senior official in the law enforcement system .
According to the report, the main reasons for accidents involving drivers from the Arab society are: disobeying traffic lights, driving at excessive speed, not keeping a distance, not giving the right of way, crossing between lanes and disobeying traffic signs. The majority of accidents involving a driver from the Arab society takes place on Sundays and Thursdays between three and four in the afternoon. On the urban roads, on the other hand, they are involved in 26% of the accidents, and 41% of the fatal ones. With regard to accident victims, the report shows that victims from the Arab community make up 32% of the total number of victims in accidents in Israel, and 40% of the dead are from the Arab community. On the intercity roads, 45% of the victims in accidents are from the Arab community, 47% of the fatalities. The members of Arab society are 23% of all casualties and 30% of the dead. The prominent settlements The report also shows that the majority of serious and serious accidents involving drivers from Arab society occur in Jerusalem, as a result of not keeping a safe distance, not giving pedestrians the right of way, disobeying traffic lights, and driving at excessive speed. Other prominent localities where serious and serious accidents occur are Umm Al-Fahm, Nazareth, Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Rahat, Sakhnin, Haifa, Araba, Shafaram, Tayba, Lod and Tira. Most of the fatal accidents involving drivers from the Arab society occur in Jerusalem, followed by Rahat and Tayba.
National plan
"This is a national problem that requires solutions both in legislation and in education," say police officials and admit that in recent years, as a result of lenient punishment, drivers in Arab society are not deterred. "When a normal citizen receives a driving license, his life turns upside down. When a driver in Arab society receives a driving license, he continues to drive. And when he is caught while driving at night, what is the punishment? So the vehicle is seized for 30 days and released, an indictment is filed and then he may receive a suspended sentence, "And another time disqualification, and a third time the same criminal driver may receive a sentence of community service. For the community service, by the way, he will drive a car without a license," say police officials. In the Traffic Division, enforcement activities are focused on driver populations that are more involved in fatal traffic accidents, such as young drivers, truck drivers with impaired vehicles, driving disqualifiers, and serial criminals, but a senior police official says that "the high involvement of drivers from Arab society in traffic accidents requires, perhaps, a plan National with the involvement of all government ministries."
Italy can be scary. The Autostrada is nuts and those Mario Andrettis racing those narrow, very curvy roads in Naples have put my heart in my throat more than once.
But Kuwait was even scarier.
And they move mangled remnants of resultant wrecks in Kuwait to the side of the desert highways until officials can get around to disposing of them. You’d think all that twisted and burnt metal on the sides of the road would act as a deterrent, but it doesn’t.
Cool, keep them there, we have enough immigrants...all full up here!
Around Tampa. Not quite as bad. Last time I was in the Miami Ft Lauderdale area I swore never again to complain about NYC traffic 🙄😖
Geeze....your French is even worse than mine! ;-)
I-95...or Biscayne?
What is the typical accident?
Head on, side swipe or rear ender?....................

I hope it wasn’t too late when found... just kiddin’.
When our daughter learned to drive the first thing I told her, “always assume everyone else on the road drives like a-holes” and even if she’s in an old clunker about to fall apart, drive with the same level of caution as if it were a fully restored 57 Chevy (she drives our 64 Chevy at times with no problem) The epitome of defensive driving. Gotta admit she’s got a cleaner driving record than me when I was her age🙄😀
I didn’t understand that, either.
I absolutely hate French having endured 4 years of that brand of ‘language’.
I only saw the immediate aftermath of one bad wreck (we didn’t see it occur) and it was a t-boning. I still hope nobody was in the passenger seat of the car that was t-boned, because there’s no way anybody could have survived that.
Saw a couple of close sideswipe calls.
We mostly saw mangled vehicle remains on the side of the highway or fender-benders in the middle of town. The traffic in town probably saves a lot of lives because drivers can’t go all that fast.
Moslems and among them especially Arabs are the most fatalistic people on earth. Many drive along and walk across the street often without looking because for them If Allah wants me to live, I will live. If Allah decrees that I will die, I will die. That is the “inshallah-if Allah wills it” they say before every move.
Yes that’s very good advice. Always be asking yourself this: “what if the guy driving that car (that’s beside me, or that I’m approaching) did something really stupid right now.”
Sounds like the real issue is the Israeli justice system.
It will only stop when the bad drivers face consequences they regard as unacceptable.
More men than women driving, with men more likely to drive recklessly? (But park competently.) More young men in their teens and 20s at peak recklessness age? (I won’t go into the consideration of repeat cousin marriages...)
“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy.The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.
A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property – either as a child, a wife, or a concubine – must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the faith: all know how to die but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it.
No stronger retrograde force exists in the world.
Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.”
— Winston Churchill, The River War, 1899
Just to mess with other driver’s minds. Guys doing casual snow plow work, would leave the snow plow attached to their small to medium size pickup trucks and SUVs, for 2- months after snow season was done. Up in New England.
What does this have to do with America?
In France, the stop signs say “Stop”.
Only in Quebec do they say “Arrêt”.
When driving in the Arab world, one must understand that an accident happens because “Allah willed it”.
And no matter what the circumstances are, the infidel will be at fault 100% of the time if it is a two-car incident.
Because...., the infidel should not have been there in the first place.
