This is something I always fear when I am in Morocco

The loopy way people drive over there is mad... I'm surprised there aren't a hell of a lot more RTAs! God forbid.

Awful...
When is the Moroccan government going to do something about the state of the roads in Morocco and the unqualified drivers on them??

I think it would take an awfully long time before they achieve anything there... I'm sure that the roads there and driving standards are not their priority.
