I only a car maybe once or twice a weekend.
I use motorbike for 99% of the time.
Only use the car for the weekly shopping on a saturday or if I need to collect somthing large which I cant tie onto my bike or if I need to goto the tip.

I own a older escort which sits in the garage all week.somtimes longer as if I dont need a lot of shopping I can fit it into my topbox on my bike.

I'm not sure if they even teach hand signals now, except for the favourite 2 finger salute or the more American middle finger.

an excerpt

High Beam Pressure
Somewhere along the road in the UAE, it has become tradition for a driver in any lane to high-beam the people in the car ahead of him with super-turbocharged headlights until that driver is dominated and surrenders due to blindness. This is most common when the flasher is driving a Ferrari, Mercedes, or a behemoth SUV, and may leave the blinded feeling frustrated, and victimized, and well, hard of seeing. This is normal, don?t take it personally. Any resistance to this behavior will tip the delicate balances of tradition and open the door to mayhem. If someone comes barreling down the highway bullying you into the next lane, be Zen, change lanes and let them go.
