Crash
So it wasn't as dramatic as this, but I had a car accident this morning. I was slowing up, approaching the red traffic lights on a six lane highway and a bloke in a hurry rammed into the back of me. Then he jumped out of his car and shouted, "I'm late for a meeting."
"Listen mate," says I, "You've hit my car. You're going nowhere," for in Bahrain it's the law that you've got to wait for the traffic police when you have an accident.
Bloke was not impressed. He said, "But the accident was your fault, not mine. Everyone knows in this country we do not stop for red lights."
This is, of course, the reason the law insists we remain at the scene of an accident until the Traffic Police arrive.
