The Middle East really loves dangerous driving on public roads. And ridiculously expensive cars.

Jeez, what a$$holes, cutting in the right lanes and drifting between people. I mean that's cool and all, drifting and stuff, but take it to the track. That's just annoying and uncalled for.

search youtube for more arab drifting. there are videos of less fortunate saudis drifting their accords and camrys. lots of videos showing them hitting people or crashing and being ejected from the car. some are so horrific it seems fake. i wont link since when i saw them they werent age restricted.

Are you surprised that people don't live in poverty ? or that a Lexus is just a regular car over here ?

What you see are basically teens who just got cars or adults who never wanted to grow up and that is a shame .

to anyone who wonders how they have such nice cars. $4 gas.

dubai has some of the nicest cars in the world...until I read the "more" about the vid I thought it was Dubai, but Saudi Arabia's close enough!

I'm just amazed how many of them have such outstanding car control. There is more than one video around the web showing their drifting skills... so that one with the people crashing doesn't mean too much in comparison.
