JIZAN, 13 February 2006 — A man died after he lost control of his car, Al-Watan daily reported. Angry with his wife and driving in typical fashion of Saudi Arabia — fast and with utter disregard for traffic laws — the man smacked his woman in the face. In retaliation, the wife grabbed the steering wheel, causing the husband to lose control of the vehicle. Because he was driving like an angry Saudi, the car was careening down the road at an unsafe speed. As a result of expressing anger by driving really fast, the car flipped several times. The wife is recuperating in the hospital; the husband is underground.
