Woman defying Saudi drive ban dies in accident

Woman defying Saudi drive ban dies in accident

I post this only because it brought back memories of driving over in the Middle East. I'd be driving out on one of the outer loops of Kuwait City late at night and some big old monster SUV with the lights out would go blasting by rocking my ride.

Headlight use seemed to be optional.

If I ever put in for PTSD it would be because I rode as a passenger in a vehicle driven by a Kuwaiti National, at night.....

I'd have to claim it was from riding in the back of a large truck in the mountains of Pakistan.

Folks - the IRT's were driving on the good roads in that general area of south asia.
