Photos Take 2

These are a continuation of the snapshots I took the other day going to Dhahran and then Al Khobar



This is a rather blurry picture of one of the many bus graveyards on the way to Dharhan...



This picture is of one of the obligatory traffic accidents on the way. This guy just had a blown out tyre but the three guys on the other side of the road (which I couldn't get a good shot of) had completely totalled their cars rubbernecking at the guy with a blown tyre. This is normal. Dodgy tyres are a major problem here and apparently 40 percent of all accidents here are caused by em. Although what the papers fail to mention is that 100percent of all dodgy tyre accidents are caused by the driver going over 150km/hr in very very hot weather. Apparently the speed limits 120 here. Yet to see someone stick to that other than the buses.



If your in the market for dodgy tyres this is where you get them This is a snapshot of one of the many chopshops set up on the road to Dhahran. They line the road for miles. The government's trying to crack down on them but they're like a fungus...
