Video: Crazy Arab Drivers Take Over Dubai Road

We’ve seen some crazy Arab driving before. Whether it’s Carrera GT’s and BMW M5′s drifting through downtown Dubai, or Shiekhs running Formula One cars on closed sections of desert highway, Arabs clearly know how to have fun in a car. (I should know, I’m half Arab – MF).

Here’s another good one. A bunch of guys in Lexus LX570 trucks block off traffic while some guys in shitbox Daihatsu’s and Toyota pickup trucks start doing donuts and drifting. Then the Daihatsu goes up on two wheels, and proceeds to cruise down Shiekh Zayed Road, the main road through Dubai, for several minutes, weaving through traffic.

I wish we were brave enough to try something like this on the 405 Freeway in LA, but we’re quite certain it wouldn’t end well.

Thanks, Vinny for the tip!

    I don't understand how you can get a car up on 2-wheels so easily and keep it like that for such a great distance. Yea its easy on an ATV… but shit. And the dudes in the sideways car are like sticking their arms out the windows and touching the street below like its no big deal. Fuck, i'm in the wrong country!

    While interesting and somewhat skillful, I can confidently cast my vote for this crew in the Dick Ass Stunt Team of the Year competition, or DASTY's if you will. The sheer annoyance factor for everybody behind them after they get over the sight of it had to have been massive, I'd be willing to drive up and tip the guy over on principle alone after the first 1/2 mile of this.
