A friend of mine advised me to go for Nitrogen to inflate my tires instead of using normal air; his explanation was that summer is very hot in Kuwait with temperature exceeding 50 degrees celsius and tires need maximum protection especially that we see many tires blowout on the highways.
He also says nitrogen is used for aircraft and race cars tires and it helps preventing tire blowouts, thats good to know.
So I headed to Shuwaikh to find a garage that has Nitrogen and found it at Auto 1, I think its also available at Bridgestone and other big garages. I asked how much and they said 1KD for each tire (that’s 4KD), they started deflating my tires and replacing the normal air with pure nitrogen, whole thing took about 15 minutes.
Some of the benefits for using nitrogen:
-Tires will last longer and have less failures.
-Nitrogen is less heated and is less effected by pressure so more stable driving.
-Increase fuel efficiency because tires remain properly inflated.
If there’s one really annoying U-Turn in Kuwait then it would be the one located at 3rd ring road opposite to plaza complex in Hawally, I’m pretty sure many of you have seen the chaos/mess in this U-Turn when many careless not caring in the world drivers cannot wait couple minutes for their turn and just go ahead and take the wrong turn, many accidents occurred and no action what so ever was taken.
One of the things that really annoys me during Kuwait National Day celebrations is the improper use of foam, they don’t just get your car dirty but also harmful to health and the environment.
Fortunately, I read on KUNA website that Kuwait Public Authority will continue the ban on foam usage and those who are caught selling or using it will pay 50 KD as a fine.
I’ve noticed this unsafe demolition technique in several locations in Kuwait where a very heavy crane is lifted and placed on the top of tall building and starts knocking down the building, what if the crane hits the wrong beam support or column? What if the roof cannot bear the load of the crane?
I think Municipality should not allow such technique.
One of the new exciting places in Kuwait is the Car Museum City, now imagine a Mini-city with mini streets, mini cars, mini Kuwait Towers, traffic lights, signs, and even prison!
I visited it yesterday, their idea is to help young individuals aged 10-16 years to learn about driving rules in Kuwait and get a license, they can drive the cars along with an instructor just like real cars yet on smaller scale.
Those who don’t abide the rules will fail or even jailed ! I loved the idea big time it helps a lot with the traffic awareness and its exciting.
I drove one of the cars and it was fun! All visitors need to do is fill a quick form, watch educational video and hit the road, there’s no charge or fees what so ever.
Address: Shuweikh – Besides Classic Cars Museum.
Opening time: 9:00 am to 1:00 pm & 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm
A friend sent me this video for what it seems a fire at one of the Nas airplanes at Kuwait Airport today, according to the sources the fire started as a result of short electric circuit during the pushback.
The fire was controlled shortly after it started, I hope no one is hurt and further safety precautions shall be taken to prevent such accidents.
انتشرت عبر تويتر صورة لسقود احد ابواب كبينة الامتعة بشكل مفاجئ على احدى طائرات الخطوط الجوية الكويتية المتجهة الى مدينة جدة, الامر قد يبدوا مجرد حادث بسيط ولكنه يدل ان الطائرات بحاجة لصيانة اكبر لان مثل هذه الحوادث البسيطة قد تؤدي الى اصابات للركاب.ا

Spotted this totally-covered-with-palms vehicle on King Fahad highway. Seemingly the dude wanted to save a few KD’s not hiring a proper wagon to transport the palms risking the lives of others!
I came to know that IKEA has issued a safety alert in Kuwait about the Antilop high chairs and request customers to return the product or call 1840408 because the chair’s safety belt can open unexpectedly causing children to fall.
If you know anyone who has this chair please inform them. Thanks!
Our blog buddy had sent us this video for an insane stunt driver on Fahaheel highway, no wonder we have high accident rates. Where are the cops when we really need them?
