  • we r not ignoring the ambulence man.. there's just now way we can make it pass.. obviously..

  • @2oura Of course they are ignoring the Ambulance, As soon as you hear a siren you should start to move over so it can pass, doesn't matter if it is still 20 cars behind you. Don't wait until it is right behind you or there will be no where to go to let it pass. It works almost every where else in the world.

  • I dont know why people always interfere "Islam" in everything that goes wrong. look I am Egyptian and and i have to tell u that most of the problems in egypt is because of the stupid government. its their fault to give unqualified drivers a license to drive, also they dont monitor the traffic at all as u saw. And the squad cars they are only in some roads the road in the video is Mehwar road and the squad cars dont stop anybody they r just showing that in the video.The government doesnt care...

  • Egypt had one of the highest death rates in car accidents in the world, with 156.3 deaths for every 100,000 vehicles. To compare, Switzerland had 8.7 deaths and the US 18.9 deaths. Egypt even beat India, which had 125.7 deaths per 100,000 vehicles.

  • What tension is that guy talking about, the problem was a government that did everything to steal and squander the country's wealth, solution is to start building infrastructure, Road markings, zero tolerance, fines and penalty system and proper driving licensing test system. Stop corruption and life will be easy, this is what Islam advocates for anyway.

  • Thought the U.S. gov't was providing millions to fix this!... guess that fell in their pockets by Accident!
