Driving in Kuwait can be a little hazardous for drivers used to western driving standards. Although Kuwait has an extensive and modern system of well-lit roads, excessive speeding on both primary and secondary roads, coupled with lax enforcement of traffic regulations and a high density of vehicles can make for some challenging driving experiences. Understanding this as local behavior will help visitors to the country ensure their driving experience can be as enjoyable as possible.  Kuwait is a very hot country in summer so it is advisable to have sunshades for the car to protect it from the heat and to enable the driver to be able to hold the steering wheel.
