600 speeding tickets issued over Eid
From today’s Al Watan staff
KUWAIT: Highway Traffic Police launched a campaign against reckless and speeding drivers during the Eid holidays, which was aimed at eliminating tragic car accidents. According to instructions passed by Major General Mahmoud AlـDousari, Highway Traffic officers set up surprised checkpoints along the King Fahed Expressway.
They succeeded in handing out over 600 speeding tickets and seized 20 violating vehicles.
A reliable source said: “A reckless motorist driving a German car was speeding on the safety shoulder of the highway bypassing all other vehicles, which were lined up at a security check point. Highway patrols pursued the speeding driver before arresting him.”
I wish they had the police out regularly. The roads yesterday were full of people weaving in and out, too fast. We watched one car clip another entering the speedway, neither of them slowed a bit.

Just today i had ‘two’ close encounters … They should do something about idiots who change lanes without warning .
Oh Grey, I was on the roads today. They were AWFUL. It was like demons were driving on the road. You chose the right word – IDIOTS.
Within a 10 minute span today I was run off the road twice this morning. I don’t know what I am doing wrong but I am starting to think I am just invisible. The other motorist act like they don’t see me in the lane they are trying to get in to. I want a driver!
It isn’t just you, Q8Dutchi, there was a bad accident in front of my house today. I called the police – they didn’t answer! Just two careless, arrogant drivers who luckily walked away from a bad wreck.
