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.
One of my former bosses, who was a retired Army Colonel, did a 2-year stint in Saudi Arabia as a civilian consultant back in the 1980s. He never drove a vehicle there, always had a local chauffer because of that.
Yes, I spent the better part of nine years in the Middle East. I understand the insh’allah culture. I even turned it on ‘em a couple of times, like when a contractor asked me if he’d be paid by a certain date after completing a construction project. I figured it was fair since he’s given me that answer on a few occasions when I’d asked him when a part of the scope would be completed. Heh!
I never drove over there, except on base. It being a passenger could be terrifying at times.
