Brake Dancing

---

Below is an excerpt from this weeks Time Out

We all know the problems with Dubai's traffic - speeding hummers flasing their dazzling lights at you, snarling Sheik Zayed traffic jams and a lack of decent commuter options. But a new problem has surfaced, and it's one that's giving the Dubai Traffic Police a bit of a headache. Caught on security footage groups of cars are travelling around Dubai in the early hours of the morning. So far, so ordinary. But it seems that when the vehicles stop at traffic lights, the people in the cars pile out onto the road and start dancing widly to music blasting out of the speakers. As soon as the lights go green, they all scramble back into their vehicles and speed off to the next junction. While some of the dancing has caused offense to bemused onlookers - one witness was apparently alarmed by the poor robot style moves - the police are getting a barrage of complaints from motorists stuck behind the mobile discos!


What a world!
