I’ve seen many a bad driver in my travels. In Spain they bump each other to make lane changes, in Puerto Rico they regularly go through red lights and drive on the shoulder. In India, they will wait for hours while a cow lounges in the road.

But the single worst are in Saudi Arabia.

In simple terms, women cannot drive a car, they cannot even sit in the front seat. But alternately, males can begin driving at the age of ten. Yeah, you read that right.

Add to that the fact that Saudi’s love big cars like Suburbans and you get the picture…quite a thing to see a ten year old driving a massive vehicle with his mother in the back seat.

They sit on phonebooks and drive like in a video game at Chuck E-Cheese, cutting across three or four lanes in one pass and without signal. In fact, just seeing it will jar you.

So while New York and Boston have the loudest drivers and France has the rudest, spend some time driving around Riyadh and you’ll find little in this piece to disagree with.
