A lot of Qatar residents would break those records if traffic law enforcement was as strict as UAE here.
Having resided in the Emirates and having a couple of locals as friends, I believe it's safe to assume that Emiratis break speed restrictions and stop light more. But they generally do less driving so individual fines will probably be low, and when the fines arrive it's generally viewed as a minor nuisance and paid off quickly.
Another way of throwing money.
See last line of the article linked in the OP. 5 Emiratis between them owe half a million. OK they're not in the top 5 but no doubt working on that. :-)
No Emiratis in the top 5? (Or do they commit the offences and then be somehow purged from the statistics?)
I know what I suspect and I spent 2 years commuting on Sheikh Zayed Rd, DXB-AUH-DXB every working day. It is the Range Rover Sports and other expensive sporty cars driven by those with distinctive head-dresses who commit by far the majority of speeding offences. Not immigrants.
Source - Radio 2 Dubai News this morning - serious traffic offenders with excessive fines will be prevented from leaving the country until they at least make some arrangements for settlement. That's sensible.
in that case u cant break the record.....lols
if u can sponsor my fines why not :)
BG only u can break the record.......lols
if they do the income will stop from her fines
Why they didn’t cancel her license?
67k per month
2 k per day = 4 500 dirhams speeding
thus i came to the conclusion that the woman works 2 shifts going back and forth 2 times a day under the same speed radar
:D
lols BG...........................
Payable in installments brit
yaani they promise not to exceed 3,00,000 k
OK.. I'm a little confused.
Is she going to pay the fines or will she be let off - "Major General Mohammad Saif Al Zafein, Director of General Traffic Department of Dubai Police, pointed out that the department will show leniency with offending motorists as long as they cooperate with police."
I am surprised that they are still alive..
no one wud dare to go near her record or her car
Craziness ..spending hard earned money for paying stupid fines...
It was in Yahoo yesterday.
