Things to be aware of when driving in Qatar:

1. If you are an expat and you get into an accident with a Qatari even when it is their fault, you are automatically in the wrong, because you are a foreigner.

2. People only signal when they want to make a U turn, Qataris never use their signal you just have to get out of their way.

3. When a car is behind you and wants you to speed up or let them pass you, they turn OFF their lights and tailgate you until you get out of their way.

4. Drivers seem confused and don't quite know how to move out of the way when an ambulance needs to come through.

5. Driving into a roundabout is like playing chicken.

6. Most people abandon their car if they damaged it pretty bad in an accident.

7. When a guy sticks his tongue out at you, it's sexual, not mean..GROSS

8. When someone makes a talking gesture with their hand in the daylight, it means your lights are on. They still think having lights on in the day time will wear down your battery over here. Apparently that's the reason why some cars still drive with their lights OFF at night.

9. People here intentionally drive with their lights off at night.
