Quad the Dangerous Fun!



Recently a tragedy struck two families when their 15 year old boys got involved in a horrifying accident while ridding their quads..one of them was my niece's classmate...sadly both boys were killed in heart wrenching ways :(.…(Allah yer7amhom wa yesbar ahaleehom)...

It’s high time that the ROP take some serious actions about the quad riding…I have many family members who ride them among them my youngest brother who owns one too!..a relative of mine once had a major accident and was subjected to many operations to fix his broken bones ..and believe it or not he still rides them!

To be frank they are fun to ride...I tried them my self along with my kids and hubby in the way to Dubai…where they have some special places for them... .and unlike the riders around here we were wearing helmets ..and believe me when I say I haven’t seen anyone around here wear helmet not even my own brother although I always have an argument with him regarding this ..

Quads are causing chaos around here ..they ride them without helmets …they ride them anywhere ..even in public beaches !...the beaches are not save anymore ..kids cant’ play around freely without you being concerned that they might get under the wheels of a reckless quad rider!

Moreover it shocked me the other day when I saw on the road between Baushar and Ansab where the high sand hill is… a merely 12 years old boy riding a quad and at the back was a boy who was 8 years or so!..both weren’t wearing helmets…although the boy wasn’t driving on the road but on the side ..nevertheless this is very risky ..i wonder how their parents let them get away with this …!


This mess should be put to an end and here are some of my suggestions:

1- ROP should forbid ridding on the beaches or any other public places

2- No driving on the roads ...like the boats the Quads should be carried on in other Vehicles to reach the ridding arenas.

3- No driving without helmets

4- Like U.A.E we should encourage people to make more and more commercial quad clubs..on the sand hills..Where kids can enjoy the ride safely….they can add a cafeteria or a snack bar and a play ground for the younger kid….so the whole family can enjoy......

5- There should be some sort of license issued to every quad owner ..and there should be an age limit to be able to own one ...

6- Any breaking of the rules above should be fined…or on a serious notion they should be jailed for endangering their own and other people’s lives!...and if the rider is under aged then his guardian should be held responsible for his actions ...

i agree with you....
but if you think about the rulez no one will ever follow them bcz every1 wants to live...REALLY LIVE
we all die in the end so why not live...
and if your talking about not riding in roads and streets i agree 100% but if they forbid public places like beaches then they wont have any where to ride...
and that will be really unfair to them...think about it

Living doesn't mean breaking rules dear!...if we live without rules then everything would be a total mess…we would be more like animals then human!...we human need rules in our live...there are rules for everything...our religion shows us rules for everything too...and it’s all about discipline..

and about the beaches...when they ride there they are endangering other people's lives...

have you seen those young boys when they come up as gangs in alhail beach?..they are reckless and they sometimes show off by doing some stupid stunts!...beaches are full of families with kids!....is this ok with you?...think about it

and about them not having anywhere else to ride that’s why I suggested that we have quad clubs where those people have somewhere to ride safely!...
