Millers Tache Posted July 22, 2007 Report Posted July 22, 2007 Didn't listen to the story to hear what happened, but it doesn't surprise me. Egyptian drivers are mental. They don't seem to have much idea of the concept of lanes in a road, either use side lights or full beam at all times of night (regardless of traffic coming the other way), rarely indicate, overtake blindly, and announce their presence by using their horn as they're halfway past the vehicle they're passing. It's frightening. We were thinking about hiring a car when we were on holiday there earlier this month, but 2 trips on a bus frightened that idea out of our heads. One of the tour reps said Egyptians literally buy a licence, then learn as they go. Glad Smith and Hart are unhurt. Quote

Guest At The Border Guy Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 In the paper this morning. Hart saying the driver cut across 5 lanes while on his mobile, and straight into an oncoming minibus. Both escaped with a couple of bruises though. Quote
mizer Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 In the metro it said they blamed their limo driver, quoting Jamie... "The idiot was on his phone and cut across 5 lanes of traffic" Quote
