Tandem Arab Drifting in Highway Traffic Is Still a Plague in Saudi Arabia

Unfortunately, such a setup doesn't have to involve turning to one's imagination, as we're talking about a cold hard reality that still takes place in Saudi Arabia.

After well over a decade of the Hagwallah phenomenon plaguing the country's roads, people are still endangering the lives of those around them by pulling such stunts.

And since Arab Drifting risked becoming boring, those who attempt it have turned to adventures involving more than one car, as you can see in the piece of footage at the bottom of the page.

Those of you who have somehow managed not to notice the phenomenon over the years should know we're dealing with drivers who usually turn to banal front-wheel-drive sedans and slide them in traffic.

It's been two years since such forms of driving became a criminal offense in the country

It's amazing how these people still go at it after Hagwallah became a criminal offense in the Saudi Arabia back in 2014. The local authorities decided to take action after an increasing number of accidents were linked to such practices.

While the first step in the long-arm-of-the-law process obviously involves fines, repeated offenders will see their cars getting repossessed for an amount of time ranging between three months and five years.

Aggravated cases can even lead to jail time, as, in theory, Arab drifters can get up to one year behind bars.

We've been keeping an eye on the phenomenon ever since and the conclusions are mixed. While it does seem like the legal measures mentioned above has reduced the number of such stunts, the video we have here only comes to show the issue still hasn't been completely solved.
