Hope we're not going back to the times where people throw themselves in front of cars to get the blood money for their families :(

That would not surprise me at all. I've heard they have suicide watch in some labour camps in Abu Dhabi due to the layoffs and the fact that many of these people owe money back home yet cannot pay it.

Or maybe the Brit was drunk... I am not surprised no one mentioned that.

No you moron! No mentioned it because you guys are all Brits. Besides it wasn't mentioned that the guy threw himself on the car either but you guys came up with that conclusion too didn't you??

I would say highly unlikely, but who knows. Most folk know its 0 tolerance here, they would be very stupid if they were.

There is strong suspicions that this does in fact happen in AD.

well I am not British...and no one has said that he's trown himself on the car either...so not sure what you are on about...
As long as there are no pedestrian crossings this thing will keep on happening...and it's not the fault of the driver or the crosser, at the end of the day it's the governement who is responsible.

Sticks and stones, mate.. And check the logo at the top of the page, you ****wit, it says British Expats.. Thought that would have been a clue as to the predominant race on here. And no conclusion was made, simply a reference to a known historical occurence when some people were driven, for whatever reason, to do just that.

So, before you spit the dummy next time and decide to get racist about it, read the comment the way it was written, as opposed to to trying to twist something to back up your own twisted view on a people.....
