Guess what happend this mornin...

Is that your car? you're alright I hope?

I do not know what Salman is trying to imply here. It's ages since I drove into the back of someone. I didn't drive - I aquaplaned on a wet December morning.
I thoroughly endorse the advanced driving course, even if it was compulsory.
Trouble is, if you keep your distance someone drives into it.

Keep death off the road, drive on the pavement.

Thanks for the thought Madmaz, I'm no worse than normal.

Salman, Allie gotta say something to this...

btw, all good at ur end??

??? 

First of all, if this was a recent accident, is everyone ok?

What is it Im missing here? 
Salman, is this your car and you had an accident? 
Dave is this your car and you had an accident?
Why would this car have the Riyadh Traffic Police phone number of 993 on it with 'Expat.com' as the plate ID?  Interesting to say the least? 

Someone please explain! 

Hello, When did this happen and how? is everything alrite.

Shahab - I am sure Allie would say that he neways needed to replace his car.

CAF - The image is modified with photoshop or using some other graphic editing software and this car looks like Salmans's car.

Salman is this your car?

Hi everyone!

yep it is my Car and the accident happend this morning. it was rush hour and I hit an SUV from behind. obviously my fault. just like dave said, if you leave space ahead of you someone will just drive in. the bad part about that is when there is a sudden stop. you cant react well unless your paying 130% attention to the car'S ahead of you. well, i was paying attention 80% lol.

though the other barely got a scratch on his car. mine didnt do so well. but at least no one was hurt.

oh an Allie read this post. she just didnt reply out of shock. hehehe. I guess am not all that good of a driver as some might of thought.

I just love my car and I can't stand that sight. *sigh*


Salman

Glad you're ok though Salman !

Aww crap, sorry for you salman. Hope you were not hurt?

Only just reading it NOW and I'm extremely thankful you weren't injured, Salman--knowing how driving is around here, a car accident can easily mean death.

Bad news about your car, however.  I think you need to get a big pink cadillac next! (somebody told me they see one driving around Riyadh lol Elvis has entered the building!!).

Glad to know you're fine Salman

Thank God its only a fender bender....

An average of 17 Saudi Arabian residents die on the country’s roads each day, a report by the Kingdom’s General Directorate of Traffic has revealed. The news comes after the World Health Organization found Saudi Arabia to have the world’s highest number of deaths from road accidents, which now make up the country’s principal cause of death in adult males aged 16 to 36. First reported by the Saudi daily Arab News, the study found that 6,485 people had died and more than 36,000 were injured in over 485,000 traffic accidents during 2008 and 2009.

Hallelujah!

LMAO!  Yes, I've noticed that!  Have you noticed that in almost every post he references the 'hot sands of Saudi' or something to that effect??

(and I won't even ASK if you noticed his obsession with the mankini... cause I know the answer is YES!)
