Driving in Kuwait: every man for himself

Before coming here I was warned to watch myself walking across the street, drivers will run my ass over. Of course I gave the 'yeah, yeah--sure they will.' No really, they will!
School Let-Out Traffic, seen from my apartment

Yes, these are ALL moving vehicles. Notice that people act as though there are NO driving laws. I've seen people pulled over. But really, they're probably just getting pulled over for a Civil ID check.

During traffic, all you hear is "beep!" "beep!" "beep!" Because people think it's faster to cut people off, drive on sidewalks, and weave through while honking their horn. Stop signs? They don't exist. Traffic lights do, but people don't give a f---! Oh yeah, and you can turn on red, any direction. Need to do a u-turn? Go ahead on make a left at the light through traffic.

No worries though, I know safe drivers and most taxi drivers are very cautious. They want to drive slow, that's how they make $$ from you.
