Have since conquered my demons… driven down the Oud Metha Rd countless times. The filter lane is still a sandy mess…

Poor you! Don’t beat yourself up about it – it can happen to the best of us. You had alot on your plate. The police man was a bit extreme with the cut-throat motion!!! Check on the RTA site and see if the fine is entered – sometimes they don’t…

Well done though on getting back behind the wheel. If I didn’t have to drive I wouldn’t but, alas, with no public transport serving near where I live or logical public transport I am forced to get behind the wheel and add to the pollution…

I had quite a bad crash 6 months after I arrived. We were moving house it was so stressful and late at night. I had a car full of stuff from Ikea and I was turning out onto the Oud Metha Road near Al Wasl Hospital. Back then (2007) it was just a horrible sandpit and the filter lane was about 10 metres long… In front of me my husband was trying also to move out. A lorry flashed its lights. In UK if you flash your lights it means they are allowing you out… here it means: GET OUTTA THE WAY! So i proceeded forth. My husband went forward,…. I went forward all the time keeping my eye on the truck. The truck did not stop. My daughter screamed…i saw my husbands wheel cover nearing… i stepped on the brakes hard and the car skidded on the sand and I crashed straight into the back of my husband. I will never forget the crunch of the metal. Luckily for me i was only travelling at less than 20kph… but it was enough to write the car off. Hey: two 1.5ton 4x4s are quite some weight.

Anyway – the police were on the scene quite quickly. They were very helpful (i was scared!) and they were humouring us saying that there are better ways to get rid of your husband. I did not have my drivers license or Molokiyah as we were moving house… so i went back home and got it and brought it back later. The Police General stapled the pink and green slip together and told us to go home and fight over who will take which colour and with a wink told my husband “but remember: your wife is always right!”.

Hmmm… maybe time to start my own blog! hahaha

I think you must have been so relieved that you drove in that road, the worst was behind you. You were so consumed in your thoughts that you forgot.

Oh well i bet you wont forget ever again.
