In her Thursday's corner in The Jordan Times daily newspaper, Randa Habib criticised drivers who violate traffic law and speed.

Following the full article as published in The Jordan Times:

I had my share of dangerous situations. As a child, I survived a large earthquake in Caracas and an emergency landing on a flight from Belem to Rio de Janeiro. In my profession, I survived kidnapping and wars.
I thought I had seen it all! Until the last two weeks, that is, during my daily drives on the airport highway, to and from work.
I am a law-abiding citizen, and the traffic rules and regulations are no exception. I drive at the speed limit, even when it says 40km/h, which often does not seem logical, but who am I to argue.
So I keep my foot on the brakes and my eyes on the speedometre, proud of my civic commitment and feeling good about myself. The feeling, however, does not last for long. Cars, lorries, trucks overtake me, both on the left and on the right. Drivers blow their horns nervously and I can’t help but notice from their angry looks and gestures that I upset them.
I try to remain calm and deaf to what I am pretty sure are not nice comments. I am determined not to let this bullying upset me.
On one such drive, a car suddenly overtook me on the right, the driver gesticulating and deciding to express his anger at me by stopping abruptly. I just had time to avoid a crash, but not a bruise. I decide that my only defence was to point at the speed limit sign. I was wrong. That didn’t help at all. The driver shouted that in Ramadan there is no speed limit, people are in a hurry and impatient and I should be considerate by pushing aside and letting them pass.
Well, I had not thought about that. And while I was still pondering the idea, a truck overtook me, driving in a zigzag, with a clear message of disdain, putting his life and mine in danger. I noticed at the rear of the truck the question: “How do you find my driving?”, with a phone number. So I thought this was a good time to call and express my opinion about his driving. I carefully reached out to my mobile phone and dialled the number, when a police officer motioned me to stop.
Well, the result is that I got a ticket for using my phone while driving.
I leave you to draw your own conclusions.
