Just this weekend I saw 5 huge road accidents involving 2 or more automibiles. They really need to lower the speed limit. 120-140 kph is way too fast for the amount of cars on the road now. It was fine 10 years ago but as the population is rising, the speed limit should decrease. Back home in Chicago the highway speed limit is 55 and you can go at 65, which is 100 kph. Going from here to there it seems slow but it's definitely more safe and you can keep the car in control.
[b'>One main reason accidents happen here is people dont keep sufficient distance or change lanes abruptly, [/b'>both of these can be lethal at 100 or 130kph.
The speed limits are fine the way they are IMO
Totally agree, I so hate it when cars drive virtually on my back bumper, do they not teach people to keep a safe distance at the driving schools here or are people just stupid? And changing lanes at the last minute too, wonder what is in these people's heads, not sure it could be a brain!

I agree however people do not care, i have lost count of the amount of people i have seen at the registration place handing over wads of cash for speeding fines.
It isn't just the speed limit however the drivers of the UAE have been talked about constantly on this forum and until the police start clamping down and are given the powers to do this then nothing will change
well thats a good point to reduce speed,but still the main problem is drivers behav,and dont forget about the flashing light on high way ...
