May the departed RIP. The 40 can be a very dangerous place to drive for sure. In my time in Kuwait I saw far to many accidents that looked like this.

Again RIP.

[quote=seth_horwitz;3013508]To clarify for us Yanks, though, you are talking about 200mph, right?

You are correct

One thing is good and bad about Kuwait roads. It has too much grip .. so once the car is sideways .. that's it

This is sad. When you make the descision to go 200MPH on a public road not only are you risking yourself, but other people. If you were only risking yourself, then I would say speed away. But in this instance the descision was poor IMHO. Regardless of the driving habits of everyone else in Kuwait. Save it for track events and speed events on closed off roads/runways. May the deceased RIP.

After growing up in Kuwait, this all too common there. Very very good childhood friend of mine died in a Speeding car accident as well in Salwa due to inexperiance. RIP

My Own cousin was Lucky to walk away from his Speeding Accident in the City on Ring Road 4... that was a crazy 2004 summer vacation...

Growing up in UAE this is just too real. I have had two friends who died from speeding. Best friends, lost them 3 years ago.

RIP
