I guess I must emphasize that my query was in good humour, it was a piece of paper....
As for being too close, well if you notice the tail lights you will know that we were definitely at a stand still, in addition to the phone camera having a zoom, small blessings of technology!
What I did like is that it triggered thought in to appropriate methods of punishment for speedsters...
A court would rule that they have a device attached to their car that does exactly as the sign says... much similar to those anklets for house arrest, now I wonder how many cars would carry that?
It would also limit the number of speedsters who cross lights and zoom at ridiculous speeds just to get caught on camera to have their car featured in both Emirates Today and Emarat Al Youm.
Now wouldn't that be great?! Also, since I am dreaming... a smiliar device which would actually snap a shot and record the license plate and image of tailgators who are too close for comfort.
I suddenly feel like Martin Luther King...
But! it does not stop there.. how do we deal with rudeness? I think I may have found it, but it's still being piloted by me, a simple classic strategy of not rising up to the bait/rage... I tried it a couple of times where I have smiled (not sarcasticallY) and asked him/her to slow down, be patient, or hold on.. Actually men seem to take it better... the two times I honked and it was a woman, I got "The Bird" - then, things got ugly but now I would just call the police, which I did last time.
