Gulf Cup = crazy driving

Ok, so the UAE won a match yesterday. Good for them. And I understand that people wanted to celebrate. Heck, it's cute to see people with their cars all decked out in flags and little footballs (except when the flag covers up the back window of the car...how on earth can they see anything from their rear view mirror?)

But what I don't understand is this:

Driving on the Abu Dhabi-Dubai highway, at 160 km an hour, with your emergency lights on!

Helloooo! A bit dangerous don't you think? I mean, how on earth am I supposed to know when you're changing lanes when I can't see a signal that tells me where you're going?

So stupid...and so dangerous...Where are the cops?
