Whatever you do, please don’t text while driving to send traffic updates.
Friends don’t let friends text and drive.

I think from now on more and more people will headed on twitter while driving just to send traffic updates…

You’d probably be in a traffic jam so it would be sort of safe to text/tweet from there :p

Great idea mark .. I wonder where you got it from. ;)

@J – It may be ’safe’ to sent text messages when you’re in a traffic jam, but it’s still illegal!
9. cajie | October 14th, 2009 at 2:41 pm
It is NEVER safe to text while you are in the driver’s seat.

Finally we are doing something very useful for our people :” >

It would be a lot better if this was on radio rather than texting on mobile. I agree with Cajie don’t text while driving or use your phone unless you have a bluetooth headset. It’s bad enough the main cause of everyday traffic are caused by silly or serious accidents.

I was wondering the other day if there was a voice to type app on the iphone

I have a good idea. Why doesn’t the MOI work on a radio station that only reports on the traffic in Kuwait. I know that they have helicopters that can circle Kuwait and check up on the buzy roads. It is a win win for everyone as more jobs are created and traffic packs are avoided.
17. The Kuwaiti Godfather | October 14th, 2009 at 8:38 pm
Oh yea and by the way a good frequency would be 112.0 ;-)
18. Pyyth4 | October 14th, 2009 at 10:10 pm
no radio can tune in above 108.5 :P
19. Mark | October 14th, 2009 at 10:12 pm
so it could already exist and we wouldn’t know about it
20. Pyyth4 | October 14th, 2009 at 11:12 pm
lol….maybe…. but who knows? :\
21. bu ziad | October 15th, 2009 at 12:02 am
J, I hope they do because the “chinco” sheds people put outside our houses are so god damn ugly! I would rather suffer the heat then live in a street like that
22. Khalid | October 15th, 2009 at 2:23 am
OMG.. are you kidding me?! just yesterday I was talking to my friend about creating a iphone/ipod application.. and I had the idea (when I was in a traffic) of creating a phone application for Kuwaitis to know the latest traffic updates! I called him right away and explained it to him.. he was amazed of how original the idea “was”.. not anymore though.. I’m a sad panda :(
