The racing is common, not only in the regular roads but in about in every road.
here in Kuwait the 2 main highways (30 and 40) are just like a Rally. From Testarossa to VW's and the single Crossfire I have seen here.

About all accidents are fatal, when they crash they mean it. The Paramedics don't respond the way they do in Europe or the US, so the chances of not making is good.

It illegal, but in most instances the Police look the other way.
