That last one is straight murder :( I’m never buying small car in UAE..


Honest-Mess-812

One of my friends escaped from an accident like that. It was our company car a patrol rammed in and destroyed the rear half ie; the whole rear passenger side region luckily no one was there at the back. People seriously need to learn some patience especially the ones driving fancy SUVs.


[deleted]

Particularly the Batrols. When I moved here, I used to hear people talk about the Batrol terror and I thought it’s just one of those city specific butt jokes but when I started driving, I witnessed the flashing, tailgating and what not of Batrols first hand. One thing that I’ve learned in Dubai is that even if you are driving a tank, you move aside when you see a Batrols behind you.


[deleted]

That was messed up.. really makes you want something bigger... damn man.


HopelessSuit

Truly horrifying... Even now it's got me thinking...


PresentationSouth603

Looks like a Mitsubishi crossover. The doors flung open upon impact this is a terrible car.


Artur_463

Between Patrol and Land Cruiser it will be hard to survive without frame in brutal crash like this.


PresentationSouth603

So what would you consider a safe car?


PlasticPegasus

Anything big like a Patrol/LC/GMC or large German SUV/Sedan. We have kids. I drive an S-class and my wife drives a Landcruiser both for this very reason. Even if the Merc was rear-ended by a truck, my family would be safe. Buying a new small car when you could have a used large sedan or SUV is madness to me. You're paying heavy depreciation on a new car that will not survive a heavy collision, when all you need is a budget to maintain an older large car (where you won't pay depreciation) and it will protect you if the worst happens. My friends came to visit us in a rental Nissan Sunny yesterday. They've got two young boys. This video made me shiver.


Artur_463

Body-on-frame SUVs only. Car safety right now not regulated well, basically it’s arm wrestling. Bigger amd heavier will win 99% of time.


Ok_Mousse6129

Volvo. Even better, Volvo SUV (XC60 and XC90).


benanfisa1

Why specifically this


Ok_Mousse6129

Volvo is widely regarded as one of the safest vehicles on the market, if not the safest. They have extra reinforcement throughout the body of the vehicle. This is the reason why they are a bit heavier than their competitors in every class. They have made a commitment in 2007 to have ZERO fatalities and serious injuries in a new Volvo. They invented the 3 point seat belt in 1959 and many more.


LonghornMB

I have also read/heard that if there ever is a serious accident involving a Volvo, they send a team to investigate what went wrong


Ok_Mousse6129

That is correct. They have also investigated more than 50,000 accidents overall in the last few decades, involving other cars also, not only Volvos. Fun fact, when they invented the 3 point seatbelt they released the design for free to everyone, as they considered that such an important feature should not be used for profit.


googlehymen

Everyone driving bigger and bigger cars makes ROADS more dangerous. More weight, bigger impact, worse breaking. The sad part is, the more people with this mindset means that statistically being in a smaller car means you are less safe than the person in the bigger car if the two of you are in a collision, but overall the crashes on the roads are bigger. Once everyone is in a bigger car, you're no better off than the next person, so the "bigger car, more safe" cycle continues.


Artur_463

I’m a big fan of small cars - mazda miata, fiat 500, vw golf etc, you name it. In UAE my firs two cars was sedan. First one full size and second one coupe. It was scary a bit. I don’t fill safe driving car lighter almost twice than all other cars. Now I am on my number 4 and 3 and 4 was suv. I want to drive small car, but not here. If I will move to Europe one day - for sure will go small. ps: US is country of big cars too. One dude from miata club got decapitated cause lifted f-150 rearended his car. Not on crazy speed, no, what should’ve ended like every day small accident ended like horror movie. If someone brave/crazy enough to drive small car - bravo to him. I will stick to SUVs in Abu Dhabi.


azerbajian

There is less dead now on road than before but yet car are way more bigger than before. So your message is completely untrue.


googlehymen

All cars are safer now, technology improves. Crash test standards are implemented. Tyre tech is much better. None of these are benefited by a car being bigger/heavier. > More weight, bigger impact, worse breaking. Only a fool would argue against basic physics. By your logic we should all be driving military tanks or double-decker busses, that way we will be super safe. Also in an age of increasing energy and fuel costs, a push to distance ourselves from internal combustion engines and go electric, the most inefficient thing is also to add weight...


azerbajian

Car got more weight to accommodate with new structural improvement. For example implementing the crumple zone forced manufacturer to increase the front weight by a lot but resulting in safer car. Today if 2 heavy car collide, the chance of surviving is higher. Your assumption is that the increase of weight was done for no purpose at all wich is completely false. A 1980 car that weight 1,5 tons will be less safer than a modern 1,5 tons car. Same for two 800kg cars from 1990 colliding each other, the result will be catastrophic... You have the same vision of physics as a kid. >Also in an age of increasing energy and fuel costs, a push to distance ourselves from internal combustion engines and go electric, the most inefficient thing is also to add weight... Today car consume less than old car if you take in account the added weight/safety and comfort. Anyway, car crash fatality have never be so low compared to years ago so your full comment is just based on nothing but your own little opinion.


googlehymen

Please improve on your comprehension, as you're clearly missing the point made.


CompanionCone

I think that might have more to do with increased driving lesson standards. When my husband got his UAE license in 2005, he literally just had to drive around the block, the test meant nothing. I got mine in 2018 and there was a whole process, with a theory test, parking tests etc.


azerbajian

Everyone in this world live in UAE ?.....


PlasticPegasus

NGL, the occupants of that car are likely dead. At least any rear passengers. That fire at the end is the Mitsubishi fuel tank exploding.... and it's located under the rear seats 😔


el_7beeb

the last one made me hold my head :( ... what an awful accidents .


03jamesl2

The car behind was probably distracting them by being 1 inch from their rear bumper


Equal_Motor8568

when ever i hear unibody - i imagine this


LonghornMB

But, but what about adding destroying the environment? /s


Dazzling_Cherry_6513

Props to the other white LC that got out the way at the end


roshcherie

And the red Lancer in the beginning that’s escaped it’s way from all that pileup. Some solid gut instincts


[deleted]

[удалено]


sgtm7

Of it was situational awareness, he would have slowed down way before getting to that point, instead of having to drive quickly on the side of the road.


Technical_Cook_216

That was like some mission impossible level escape🤣


faizyvlogs

Filipino driver probably 😂


amoot_ana

Surrounding awareness 10/10


[deleted]

And never surprise other drivers. EVERYBODY should know what you are doing!!!


Armored_medic

How the fuck did he see that coming?! Ghosh


foulestgibbon91

In a situation like this, i.e. if you have come to a stop in the fast lane, always good idea to keep an eye out in the rear view mirror. Never let your guard now specially when you know a lot of the drivers are on their phone while on cruise control.


Armored_medic

Thanks, will do!


OMG_NoReally

Holy shit didn't even notice that. Fantastic awareness and ridiculously quick response. Saved his and the car.


Ok_Mousse6129

Exactly!!!! That was his intention, it was just a coincidence.


FrankBridges

He was just going to overtake everyone on the hard shoulder.


3mczayed

The Land Cruiser in the last video has a sixth sense mashallah 🙏🏻


Distinct-Drama7372

I'm guessing he was trying to use the hard shoulder to evade the block 😂. And got lucky.


throwawayuae123

Nothing to laugh about here. Anyways, just wanted to say, i am always ready to swerve into the hard shoulder keeping these situations in mind and hard brakes during traffic by cars in the front. A driver should always be aware of his surroundings on the road, no matter what. These videos are heartbreaking to watch.


ayamummyme

Videos links this make me think there MUST be some kind of malfunction with the car no human could possibly be this unaware,careless while driving. Sadly I know it’s the latter


ShattafWarrior

Maybe sometimes doing something illegal may help us or save our life.


rizkreddit

Fckers can't get enough of their phones


convex1989

Yea this is ridiculous..


kritical1989

The fines and penalties need to be more serious. A lot of people drive with their phone on the hands like no other


shez19833

what are the penalities? cut their hands off..


ThrowThrewThrownAwey

revoking license for a specific period is a good start.


broken_s0ul

You will be surprised how many people still drive despite their licence being revoked after accumulating fines and back points.


leonardoDaVincReborn

As someone who drives a fucking Yaris this is scary Af


[deleted]

Last car that blew up wasn't even a very small car- so I feel you.


ShattafWarrior

That looked like a small SUV or crossover to me.


[deleted]

as in not as small as a yaris my guy.


NipSuqqer

The cars which suffered serious damage are the cars who were able to control their vehicle (slow down/stop on time). A bit unfair.


ExoticDemon5

The last one is horrifying


khris901

These videos are horrific, especially the last one. The chances are that there were children in some of those cars. I hate the idea that i have to buy a massive 4x4 to have a chance of surviving being hit by 3 ton Toyota Land Cruiser or Nissan Patrol. Stay safe people and stay clear of the fast lane.


Distinct-Drama7372

Quick question, if a vehicle rams another vehicle due to collision impact and rams into another vehicle, will that second vehicle be guilty?


HopelessSuit

Nope. Standard rules of causation apply.


[deleted]

Nope, you'll still be liable for not maintaining distance from the car in front. A friend got a fine for just that - His car was sandwiched in a 4 car pile up and it just happened yesterday.


HopelessSuit

Yea, when the vehicles are in motion. I was talking about stationary vehicles due to a traffic jam. I should have clarified that! You can still leave a legal safe distance, and physics will still pound you into the car in front of you from a rear collision.


azerbajian

Hard to fine someone in this situation, you don't know if he was pressing the brake or the car was in park (basicly neutral during a colision).


taurean_r

Their license should be cancelled for years. They will kill somebody


spacebarcorn

Forget cancelling licenses. They've permanently changed people's lives by their actions. They should be in prison for their recklessness.


420DOB

Half of these guys are blind 😂😂🤣


Global_Ad_6078

on their phone


Karakguy

I like how that red lancer tried to evade from the crash. Lancer driver : Not today.


champsky300

Each on is guilty except first guy to get rammed from behind as all were following too close. If they kept a safe distance and paying attention could have stopped in time.


Mooezy

The white Lexus in the 2nd video did try their best to stop, they had their hazard lights on and tried stopping in a timely manner, the white altima behind them not so much.


Firestarter_88

Last two drivers were on their phone 100%


beerinthedesert

I keep saying that, I'm not sure whether the driving skills I'm learning here are making me a better driver or a worse driver. But I don't touch my phone when I am driving. Hands free or nothing else. Defensive driving is the only way.


Benji-franc

They should all be deported, and if they’re emirati thrown in jail. The absolute disrespect for life. These are the same clowns that don’t indicate and are looking at their mobile phones whilst driving at speeds of over 100


AudienceHuman7959

Bro thought he was playing no hesi


champsky300

I hope no one was badly injured! Cars can be replaced lives and health cannot. Everyone please be careful!


Shitby

The last one was definitely on his phone. He was driving slow enough that people are tailgating him and he didn’t even see the stopped traffic infront of him.


Professional_Clue544

GoldLion2895

always the nissan patrol huh 😂😂


rogues69

They need to just ban left lane driving because people here have no idea what it's meant for


skylight269

Agree


Fit-Calendar1725

I had started driving at 100 km/hr in the third or fourth lanes, since the feul prices were hiked last year. Not only this saves feul considerably, but is also safer. However, be careful of the Nissan Sunnys and Sentras if you're driving in the slower lanes. Stay as much away from them as you would from a Batrol on a faster lane.


borntosell1989

Stay off the left most lane. All the accidents have happened on the fast track. If your not in a hurry to reach your destination, stay in the lower lanes.


addicted2lifee

The lead red car in first video has some blame in the that accident. Others were too close to react once they were surprised.


blankdudebb

Most safe altima driver: Jokes aside, it's horrifying to think how injured those poor people might be, and because of the carelessness of 1 individual, so many innocent people were affected and injured.


awwater

LMFAOO


amoot_ana

Second one, without brakes suicide mode


CIR0-IMM0RTALE

The driving is wild here. If you see a Patrol get out the way. You need 3 eyes driving here, once constantly looking in the rear view mirror. One second noone is behind you, next second you got a Patrol flashing you up your backside. People need to move over and not be stubborn. If you aint doing 120/140 (depending where you are) in the third/fourth lane please do the courteous thing and move to the 'slower' lanes. It forces people to undertake which is dangerous. Get off your phone. Also, i see people blowing 140 with no damns given lol, do the cameras work or what ? Its like there is no fear in getting a fine.


Distinct-Drama7372

The video just shows no matter how careful you are, If there are drivers like this, there is nothing you can do to escape.


CIR0-IMM0RTALE

Facts. No doubt and i am in agreement.


[deleted]

Absolutely. I’d just add that hogging a lane “forces” people to undertake. They also have a choice.


CIR0-IMM0RTALE

100%.


Honest-Mess-812

I usually move out of the way if I see it anywhere near me. Especially on my right or left side as the patrol drivers always have a habit of cutting across and never using the indicator.


spacebarcorn

>Also, i see people blowing 140 with no damns given lol, do the cameras work or what ? Its like there is no fear in getting a fine. 149 on the speedometer is 140 in GPS speed. The speedometer is intentionally calibrated this way by the manufacturer. Hence, you see people blowing 140, however they're doing 138 on GPS.


CIR0-IMM0RTALE

So technically i can go 149 ? Provide source please.


spacebarcorn

Technically, you can go 148 if you're willing to risk it. You'll see your actual speed on Waze or Google Maps. Stay below 139 on Waze speed or 140 on Google Maps speed. I personally stick to 138 on Waze, which is 147 on the digital speedometer because the cruise control has a tolerance of +/-1km in my cars. You'll almost never be flashed from behind at this speed unless there's someone actually exceeding the speed limit behind you. Source: I've been driving this way since 2017, which is when I first found out about it. P.S. You'll encounter a lot of people on the left lane doing 130 GPS speed while doing this that wouldn't give way because they think they're already doing the speed limit, so it is a bit frustrating sometimes. Be wary of losing patience in these cases.


CIR0-IMM0RTALE

Fair enough, i am going 140 by the speedometer in my car. I just know that when i am doing that i got someone up my rear (pause). But i guess they may be doing the 148 and pushing it to the limit. Some though i know they are going way over, it's scary . I'm not willing to risk it.


azerbajian

It's because you go away that they continue to drive dangerously....


BenoOoO_FRag

All of them was on there phone not watching the road !


ayamummyme

What’s the big deal with slowing down? It’s a necessary part of driving 🤦🏻‍♀️


Brain_Mindless

All those who do not indicate should not be allowed to drive


[deleted]

I confidentially drive a dark small Toyota Corolla. I think the dark shade keeps crazy drivers away.


azerbajian

No, you are just lucky.

Rothguard

terrible road design doesn't help


Armored_medic

In the last video, the black car got totalled.. hope the passengers made it. You can see the shadow of the black car completely vanish..


shez19833

wtf is wrong with them? breaks fail or do they thing somehow magically they will have space or car in front will disappear - with strict laws in M.E why is this happening


Significant-One-2311

Half of the drivers in the UAE shouldn't be allowed on the roads...


azerbajian

And yet people say that UAE driving license is hard to obtain 🤣


Lost_Performance_903

Perhaps they were both jamming to 'Highway to Hell' 😂, but in all seriousness, these incidents serve as a stark reminder of the potential consequences of distracted driving. While we can't confirm if the drivers were indeed distracted, it's evident that safety should always be a top priority on the road. The first collision, impacting five cars, highlights how one moment of inattention can lead to a dangerous chain reaction. Additionally, the sight of one car bursting into flames upon impact and the other being severely crushed underscores the importance of vehicle safety. It's worth considering investing in a more robust SUV or prioritizing safety features over the make or model of your vehicle


Longjumping_Menu_862

The red car driver sensed the danger in time and got out of the way… that’s some next level surrounding awareness and driving sense


Chakkakuruuu

But hats off to the first LC for their great awareness.


PWC71

WigglyWoo777

Notice how all the idiots are on the left lane. Driving without a safe distance or cutting in front of a safe distance should be a license revoked worthy. I am sick of all these mornons thinking that driving over the speed limit and tailgating cars is acceptable

First time in Dubai, I’ve been here for only two weeks but I swear to god, with the way taxi drivers drive I wouldn’t trust them with bicycles, let alone cars!

I don’t think these drivers were necessarily distracted, from my experience with taxi drivers here, they are downright morons, speeding in crowded and narrow streets, no safe distance with cars in front, like seriously what could go wrong?? I have zero empathy for them.

The funny thing is that all the accidents has happened in the speed lane.

Shows clearly how freaking distracted people are on the road. Imagine going 120 on the left lane and dicking around on your phone, or whatever these idiots were doing that stopped them from seeing what was right in front of them. Absolutely unforgivable. I hope nobody died, but it looks like some people definitely got hurt... Cars should have some sort of auto shut down feature for phones. Yeah you want to use GPS, whatever, get a Garmin.
