If its a mobile laser they can set the limit to whatever they like, so if its 120 theres no reson why they cant set the gun to 121, 125 etc.

However in the UK the police standard is speed limit plus 10% speedo error, plus 2 mph. So in a 30 limit the radar is set @ 35

Thats rough on your mate i thought a 10% speedo error was pretty well standard.

Dont people defend this in court.? No car speedo is guaranteed accurate especially if the conviction was within 10% of the speed limit.

What do you mean

Of course its interesting, i have retained my postion as 2nd highest poster

MB and his ilk would probably do ok, considering Bangladesh doesn't most of the above

Just checked . The 27pc from Russia is on "World visitors to Dubai" on http://www.visit-dubai.co.uk That means 1 in 4 of ALL Dubai visitors comes from Russia ! Can that be true? How many roubles are they spending in Dubai? It must be HEAVEN if you come from parts of Russia to Dubai ! I ha...

Arniegang You say Dubai inc is near on bankrupt. Is it that bad ? Sheikh Mo is very wealthy , is he not? Besides, Abu Dhabi has BIG money , so they surely won't let Dubai get into trouble? The problem is getting CUSTOMERS from the west to buy all the expensive property. The west is suffering job lo...

Its always difficult to make head and heart decisions.

You have chosen wisely Chocs - good on ya and respect

I'm telling you guys, he is one of the ppl who couldn't make it and now taking it out on every thing around him. to solve this recession you need cash, and the country has plenty of it, end of discussion. there is no need to be all stressed out about it, it is not helping. yes Dubai got fuc8d badly...

Arnie, Bit contradictory to say the Brits are the BIGGEST visitor group to Dubai, whilst they are not now. That suggests visitor number have dropped like a stone. Besides , that World Visitor Numbers item on http://www.visit-dubai.co.uk suggests that Russians make up 27 pc of total, whilst ALL of t...

The difference between Dubai and say the UK, US, Can and Aus is that when a recession hits people may loose their jobs but they still have their family and a place to live called HOME.

In Dubai people loose their job, and they leave the country

It isn't rocket science.

Work is work, everyone has to do it to survive.

Everyone is forgetting one thing and why it is so important to get a permit from the RTA. In the event of an accident if your insurance company deem that you are carrying passenger for "hire and reward" your insurance is invalid. Charging people for a lift to work is the same and technical...

In contrast i have made it and i made it well. I was one of the first in May 2002 that enbraced and shared the same vision of Dubai. I bought 4 properties, 2 on the Palm Jumeira (shoreline), 1 in Phase 2 Marina and a cheeky little purchase in JBR. I sold off 3 in mid 2007 and sold my "home&quo...

The figure for DH is actually 800. And dont forget these figures are only what is published and obviously censored in the papers. Personally i would totally ignore what we read in the papers and at least treble it. What we dont hear about is the acumlative numbers of small business's, shop workers. ...

stupid me I thought it is a global recession. Again my realistic friend if you are as good as everyone think then you shouldn't involve the stock market prices to what is happening now, you should know that the stocks prices were not the real value of those companies not 5 years ago not now. beside...

Kite Totally agree with your post above mate. The reason i never invested in European markets like Spain is that the property market runs a simialr parallel with the UK and the US really. The euro was weaker back then but i and many others always considered the euro to be a serious contender to the ...

Robbie i have never lived in dubai. I had a 3 year residency permit until last september, but i chose not to live in Dubai. My place on the marina was my holiday home. However my decision to sale was purely mathmatical. I sold for 2 million Dhs. With the pound taking a battering by the dollar that ...

A Friday night is hardly representative. Its the commuter traffic everyone is saying about not friday nights

Macjul, You miss the point ! I cannot drive around Dubai because I am in the UK, but with an interest in Dubai. I've gleaned a lot of info from a web-site called http://www.visit-dubai.co.uk , which is near the top if you put "visit dubai" into Google. Plus I've read other sites. That is ...

He actually has 11 properties, at least out there, several around the marina. He bought in 2006/07 after moving from the UK. Living expenses in Dubai look high. Does Dunbar ring a bell as a marina address? At the moment his properties ar worth what he paid for them. They are devaluing by the week s...
