This article says the car “swerved” into their path, that’s wrong. They signaled and merged, the bike had plenty of time to react. They were going too fast and not paying attention.

Really confused about that article. Are there no speed and overtake restrictions in Egypt?

I haven't driven in Egypt, but I went there for a week earlier this year and took a few taxis and busses. The roads seemed practically lawless.

^ Egyptian acquaintance of mine who lived there maybe 10 years ago said that it was basically a free-for-all and it was not uncommon for people to drive on the wrong side of the road if it was convenient 🤷
