The ‘Best Places To Drive’ List Has Been Released And Dubai’s Ranking Is Pretty Surprising
One of our favourite topics of conversation about UAEĀ is its roads and drivers. Let us tell you why.
It is a conversation that gets extreme reactions. People are either very happy that they can take their fancy wheels for a spin or terrified for their life because their littleĀ car could be knocked out of the way by someone tailgating theirĀ a***.
These kind of convos make you wonder whetherĀ the roads you’re driving on are really safe or not?
WazeĀ has got the answer.Ā
TheĀ community based traffic and navigation app decided to quantify data through the Waze Driver Satisfaction Index. It analysed the driving experience of millions of monthly active Waze users in 38 countries and 235 metros to create a single numeric score. They focusedĀ onĀ countries and metros withĀ more than 20,000+ monthly active users to keep the data accurate.
UAE is the SIXTH best place to drive
We’re just as surprised / shocked as you are!

Before you jump at us (or atĀ Waze) and point out that we meet some prettyĀ crazy drivers on the roads each day (orĀ sometimes evenĀ more than once aĀ day),Ā let’s clarify that the data Waze collectedĀ can’t actually determine the skill or aggressiveness of drivers. It’s based on factors such asĀ traffic density, commute times, driver services and various other aspects.
