Not counting the Autobahn where there are no speed limits along certain stretches, I guess the highest speed limit in the world is the Dubai - Abu Dhabi highway otherwise known as Sheikh Zayed Highway where it is a posted 160kph. Many people use the highway as an unofficial test track despite all manner of cars/buses/lorries also using it. For kicks, some people I know would bet just to be the 1st to reach a certain hotel and disregard the fines that come their way (they budget a certain amount annually for this) and routinely average 250-300 kph. This road is the deadliest in the whole of the UAE and stretches throughout all 7 emirates and is the common connector for the country. Crashes when they do occur are spectacular at that speed and rise during the holy month of Ramadan when drivers are tired and eager to go home to eat. Something happened recently last week when a reported 9 people died, 150 were injured and 200 cars were affected.

There have been times I thank my lucky stars. Our drivers may not be angels but I consider us as among the safest countries in the world. Take care during this rainy period and drive safe!
