No more big ones for expats in Jeddah unless you have a big one
 
JEDDAH: Residents with less than five members in the family will not be allowed to own a vehicle with seven seats or more, the General Directorate of Traffic has said.
The directorate has sent a circular to all its departments, saying that registration or ownership of such vehicles by expatriates should be rejected if the condition is not met,

Pondering this logically is why you can't think of a logical answer:rofl:

Is anything logical in Jeddah?? The place on earth I know that seems to be able to only function and operate in complete chaos...

Great plan. Restrict the 'safer' drivers to smaller cars so the others can bowl around in trucks with 6 kids bouncing around not strapped in.

I understand that it's to stop single men getting up to mischief with other... single men (and maybe the occasional woman) - That pleasure has been reserved only for married men with large families.

I had sex in a Mini.

And it would have been easier without having to struggle with a belt and jeans...

I made sweet love to my college mrs in my Citroen C2. That was pretty cramped. Ended up giving her a gentle warming of her arse on the bonnet too....on her parent's driveway...whilst they were in.

****. Those were the days.

I suspect with this lot that a mini-van was needed to fit the mistress in the rear.

Austin Metro - C Plate. I loved that car - seem to recall changing the alternator shortly after.

I wonder what happened to the menthols-chain smoking Kimberly.

It's to stop illegal taxi services in theory.

pfft! Suzuki van 800 1982 man, I was BORN to drive that thing ok?

http://www.roadsmile.com/images/suzu...interior_3.jpg
it had a huge 60 litre CNG tank fitted under the rear seat so it was raised higher up than usual. So it was *ahem* at just the right height...IF you know what I mean ;)

Btw life experience : a parked car makes more noise in the dead of the night

Closure of small grocery shops likely | Arab News

Bye bye mom'n'pop stores! Lots of fun when you're on a visa unable to legally drive, however many seats your transport has, shipped from company housing to workplace and back and it's heating up as summer is coming! Those baqalas are reachable on foot.
