    It was a pretty safe bet that anyone driving a medium to large sized truck would be an expat. The Kuwaiti male children ranging in ages from 13 to 25 had a game they played by running out on the Ring Road, "same as our Interstates", in front of a truck to make them swerve into another lane causing an accident. the owner of the company where I was senior engineer, was riding on one of our Half lorries when his driver started to swerve and miss a boy. Saad Told him to just run over the idiot, He didn't but stopped they got out when Saad saw the kid was his oldest boy, he ripped his ghutra off his head rolled it into a rope and gave the boy a good thrashing. Hauled him to a police station and told them to lock the kid up for a month. They don't argue with a High Sheik when he tells a police Col. to lock his own kid up in a cell.
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
