Rush hour freestyle, Dubai style [Video]

In Dubai highway high jinks are just an everyday thing.

Over the years we have come across some crazy street racing and drifting youtube videos coming out of the UAE.  But this latest video taken on a motorway in Dubai hits redline on the bizarre-o-meter.

As the video begins we're presented with an old Toyota pup truck that's doing his impression of "sticking accelerator pedal" syndrome.  But soon after, another vehicle is seen doing its impression of a motorcycle. 

Not exactly the kind of driving you see on the motorways of the world.  However, in Dubai where the cars and fine and enthusiasm is high, highway high jinks are just an everyday thing.

In the video pay attention off in the distance at around 2:15.  You'll see how the stunt vehicle sets up for his trick.

by the way you can travel 70miles/ 120km/h in that highway . and stopping that high could have lead to big accidents

Oh man... that is crazy! Perhaps they are feeling high after several rounds of shishas (Arabian fruit-based opium, hope I spell it right).

it seems they have no understanding for rules... their only rules are those comming from Allah and from their tribe leader ... being civilised in the western way is something alien for them... so freeways (thanx Western world) are good enough for camel race or dubai freestyle ..rush hour or so.

A clarification, neither Allah nor a respectful tribe accept this behaviour. This is vulgarity, untolerated by any respectful human being.

is getting pregnant at an early age a civilized matter that happens in the so called western "civilized" countries. Maybe getting drunk is "civilized". Know what you are talking about because you should not base your judgments about any true form of religion based on ignorant acts of some stupid people.

you are talking about civilized system in west world or civilized manners? if you are talking about the system Dubai getting a head of many west countries and will become the best. if you want to talk about civilized culture I think all middle eastern countries are rich in culture and have a history of generosity and hospitality and kindness. if you are concern about some arab acts believe me i have seen the worst people in the west the most crazy weirdos come from the west.

Dont thank the western world for highways. Unless you mean Germany ofcourse. I am assuming you mean USA, which did not invent highways

Turbo91, you say Germany invented the highway? Let's be more specific, "Upon assuming power in January 1933, Adolf Hitler enthusiastically embraced an ambitious autobahn construction project as part of his program of public works to help fulfill his promise to reduce unemployment." That's from Wikipedia. Seems "your hero" also had a hand in jumpstarting a little company known worldwide as Volkswagen, the parent company of your beloved Porsche. It was state sponsored and owned, owned by a Nazi state! Nothing is scarier than a German fool with a superiority complex!

Ohh man, if this happened in my country or many parts of south america. Someone would just take a gun out and shoot that guys tires, so the flow of traffic can resume and people can get where they are going, instead of dealing with morons...

Those are suspiciously cheap-looking cars for Dubai. Where are all the gold-plated M5s and Bugatti Veyrons? Although one of them did sound like a TVR. Maybe they did an engine transplant...

Actually traffic rules are tough in Dubai , but this is happening because of soccer match and their team won so they go crazy.

Ignorance is a virtue in this case?. Now the ones in the video are morons, and their rivals on this site are the ones with comments like ?Allah told them this, and their culture says that?. You want to see crazy stuff in Europe and the US??? Type ?Ghost rider on youtube?. If you ever left your door step, you would know better than talk rubbish about Dubai and others in the region. Most of you love to make money off them, if your smart enough!!!

While i don't endorse such foolish shenanigans on public highways, you must admit, they were two fantastic drivers!

Youth, football fever, throw in a bit of money and a lot of time on one's hands and that's what you get. Check out what this Saudi is doing with a (possibly stolen) new 7-Series.http://www.safeshare.tv/v/SKPYXVJWXko

These guys were all already arrested by the Dubai police for dangerous driving. http://gulfnews.com/news/gulf/uae/crime/shaikh-zayed-road-stunt-drivers-arrested-1.631498 Nobody is allowed to drive like that ... not even in Dubai :) Normal traffic rules apply here as well and plainly these guys are just a bunch of idiots.
