Traffic Woes

This picture was taken a year ago, while I was driving to work from Sharjah to Dubai I spotted these kids walking in the middle of the highway, I was curious and since the traffic was not moving I changed lanes to ask them what they thought they were doing, Khalid, Ahmed and their not so talkative friend told me that since the traffic was so slow, it was wiser not to take a cab and instead walk to their destination. Sure enough they had overtaken me much before the traffic started moving at a better pace. Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
