Hello, we may be sending a few US operators over on 3 month assignment.
The key question that has been raised by my legal and HR team is if one of the operators got into an accident (especially with a Saudi), that there may be significant legal issues for the individual. In the US, insurance normally takes care of the issue unless there is a law broken.
I would say that given the "skill" of driving in KSA that the likelihood of having an accident is rather high...
Can you clarify if these are just unfounded concerns or if there are truly significant liabilities for foreigners driving in KSA.
Any recent stories of foreign drivers getting into undue trouble that the insurance won't take care of?
