Autoblog ; video of Dubai hoonery
http://www.autoblog.com/2010/05/21/v...dubai-traffic/
I've seen the videos of hoonage from SA but those seem to be on roads with little other traffic.

Beats the boredom of the M25.
When I first lived in Saudi I perfected my handbrake turns. But how d'you get a car up on 2 wheels in the first place?

I can't imagine its very good for your car! This video has been doing the rounds a fair bit, surely the police could get the number plates from this? Personally I think keeping this on private or closed roads would be a better idea, but on busy routes used by Jo Public the captain sensible inside me does think its a really dumbarse thing to do!

The numbers are clearly visible which means- it's someone laying down the gauntlet (unlikely)
or they've swapped the plates with their mates whose cars are totally different.
Anyway- how old is this video?
Is it truly a response to the announcement of the new clampdown? Or a resurfacign of an old tape?

On a related point you can now take your own car round Yas Marina Circuit. Anybody done it?

I have a Pajero... taking that on a track wouldn't be described as enjoyable (nor is driving it on the road come to think of it)
