Abu Dhabi... Fast lane
Most private cars on Abu Dhabi roads are of high octane and are high-powered. The roads are three-lane each side. The Police, a majority imported from neighbouring countries, are prompt and strict.
I sat on one sturdy, brand new Chevrolet 4x4 around midnight, and I swear I had never done 170-180km/hr in all my life.
Oh, I wasn't the driver. The chauffeur was celebrating his birthday before he gets married by the end of this year. He did 310km/hr on a Porsche before 35. We still owe him a Starbucks coffee.

High speed means high risk
Don't live life that's brisk
Better be safe than sorry
Whether back or front of lorry

Hi Jeff,
I was here in Abu Dhabi since last month. For me, I feel the roads here was like F1 circuit, when you are driving at the speed of 150km/hrs, u still always can get a high beam from behind ask u to give way... foo...mmmm...passing u...wah lau... terrible...

Jeff,
It was nice meeting you and Guan Eng tonoght in Dubai. I used to be apolitical person until the last election eventhough I had been firm supporter of opposition party.
Let me know how a ordinary citizen of malaysia can contribute to the cause and struggle three thousand miles away from the home land.

310 km/h... that's like the speed of a Formula 1 car!!!
So now YB has become Jeff Raikkonen or Jeff Hamilton or Jeff Alonso... take your pick...
