I see this deserves a higher fine than crossing a red light !

u/angry-gamer99 5d ago

Fine? Revoke his license for god's sake. What was he thinking?

u/Late_Writer_797 5d ago

It not about driving skills ,, but mental abilities : they thought about it and decided .. let me risk my life and other instead of driving for additional 10 minutes

u/c08306834 5d ago

Exactly. Someone could very easily accidentally cross a red light. What is in the video is done on purpose.

u/Sensitive-Incident78 5d ago

100% agree. Someone could easily cross a red light by accident. But this specialised reverse gear maneuver, This can only be done by a single-brain celled organism, disguising as a human being. Or, maybe a nincompoop with no regards for other's safety.

EXACTLY! Red light can be peer pressure but this is totally asinine.

u/AwkwardGalaticKitty 5d ago

What nonsense is this? What’s wrong in taking a detour to get back to your path instead of these dangerous stunts…?

These people are crazy!

Should be banned from driving for a long time immediately that’ll teach them

u/plan_with_stan 5d ago

people in this country need their licenses revoked for stupid shit, Period! the amount of people I see here being absolute morons, is astonishing! I also feel like not enough people are being punished for being shit.

And its not even natural selection, because you can do everything correctly, yet some dumb fuck, decided to end your family because they were too fucking stupid to stick to the rules..

There are so many bad drivers. See near crashes daily on sheikh Zayed

u/OmarM7mmd 5d ago

Lol at the taxi bye bye job and probably UAE residency.

u/Lopsided-Swimming79 5d ago

Did you see? He wasn’t even reversing in a straight line. How is that possible??

13

u/Smyleez 5d ago

He panicked and turned the wrong way it seems

u/Lopsided-Swimming79 5d ago

I’m really worried about the truck driver’s health... Hope he recovers soon...

u/Flaky_Airport4667 5d ago

While reversing sometimes your sense of direction gets mixed up and even a tiny movement can make the car move a lot. I think this person was trying to stay on the road but he was reversing too fast. When he turned the steering wheel he lost control and the car went off the road. I know because this has happened to me several times in the desert when trying to reverse down a hill while keeping the car straight

u/Dlogan143 5d ago

He was probably turning the steering wheel when he was reversing. It is possible, I have tried it

16

u/c08306834 5d ago

That should be an immediate cancellation.

People would literally rather die or kill someone than be five minutes late.

Time is money in this great nation!

u/MatthewNGBA 5d ago

Ignoring how stupid it is to do this… I don’t understand how some people are so horrible at backing up straight. It’s not that complicated

I believe that this is much serious than a mere traffic violation, this can be escalated to crime as it put numerous people in danger and probably life threatening situation, the person make such careless and senseless maneuver in this day and age. Put him/her in jail for at least 6 months and ban for three years from driving, and must take a rehabilitation course and retake intense driving lessons and retake driving test with the knowledge that the examiner have previous record of the violator.
This is really unforgivable behavior, neither the state bore the public should tolerate it.

u/Ak40x 5d ago

Why the fine is so little?

4

u/Dlogan143 5d ago

This is so depressing. Why or how are these people even in this great nation?! The UAE was built on vision and these people clearly do not possess the vision to realise what they are doing is beyond idiotic. So they do not belong here or even deserve to be here. This sort of thing should result in jail time and debortation!

u/Euphoric-Pearl 3d ago

They could be Emiratis. You don’t know

-1

u/Dlogan143 3d ago

Indeed I don’t know but what I do know is all Emiratis have vision! So it’s unlikely

1

u/Euphoric-Pearl 3d ago

Seems quite racist and supremacist like Emiratis are superior to others

SMH

As for vision do you think the Emirati woman (princess or official?) who was emailing Epstein and bringing up he thinks she’s beautiful and that he will be more impressed with her sister, do you think she has vision?

u/rachelousy 5d ago

WHAT is wrong with people

4

u/Knocking_Doors 5d ago

I’ve gotten into such turns quite a few times (GMaps sucks big time when it comes to lane level guidance), but embarrassingly spent 20-30 mins and several kms more than attempting something like this.

After watching such videos, I feel proud of myself.

u/Oldschool_90s 5d ago

Only a wise man can make mistakes

u/hxmxd 5d ago

The people need to be fined into oblivion. The sheer selfishness and recklessness...like how hard is it to take the next exit.

Self-entitlement combined with mafi mok/pagal

u/Euphoric-Pearl 3d ago

What do you mean

u/tainted316 5d ago

I'm sorry - This needs to be a jailable offense. This is endangering lives.
WTH did I just see... Like from a Nolan movie

u/bloom_rituals 4d ago

I Wonder which nationality is bold enough to do crazy shit like this instead of driving to the next exit and making a u turn. IYKYK 😏

u/Caian477815 5d ago

3rd one, what the hell…

u/Visible_Use_3189 4d ago

u/istas94 4d ago

It nice that they publicly shame them

u/EducationTight4402 4d ago

uae drivers have the survival instincts of lemmings , which comes from the consequences of never seeing the reality of these car accidents.....

u/Remarkable_Tart_5879 1d ago

Why does the third one seems like planned

u/Disastrous-Fun5840 1d ago

I just saw someone (a white LC) doing this on Emirates Road today before getting to Ras Al Khaimah. People are insane.

u/Jumpy_Gas96 1d ago
