DANGEROUS DRIVERS * Yemen - Traffic chaos in
... the panic many of these buses' drivers encounter at rush hours...
Sana’a,Yemen -The Yemen Times, by Ismail Al-Ghabri -15 May 2007: -- There is no doubt that the increase of number of cars in Sana’a, the narrowness of many of Sana’a streets, the absence of parking lots, the absence of traffic lights and pedestrian signal lights and consequently intolerable traffic jams have become an unbearable phenomenon, negatively reflected on society... The fact that many buses are hired to transport school students aggravates the situation due to the panic many of these drivers encounter at rush hours. They commit all kinds of violations trying to unload their buses and make it on time at the schools to pick up students. The students are encountering high traffic risks generated from these bus drivers who seek to drop the students at homes as fast as possible in order to return to their first jobs. The passengers and students end up at the mercy of these drivers who consider the high speed and endangering passengers and students legitimate for the sake of making their livings... (Wrecked car like this may teach people not to exceed the speed limit)
