Having driven around all the Emirates, I can for sure that Abu Dhabi is the cleanest Emirate, Dubai not far behind.

Then there's daylight to... well, Sharjah I guess.

Having driven around UAQ and seeing the massive amount of rubbish just piled up and rotting on the side of the road, it makes me sad that people don't have more respect for their own country.

You are not alone. I got snapped once going 100k/hr through the tunnel thinking the speed limit is 100 or 120. Didnt realise it is only 80. Didnt read the sign before I went in as I was paying attention on the road !!!

AED 200 fine for going 100k/hr!! :shock:

Because i was on an empty road with NO traffic.

You know, its a common arguement in the UK as well. It is said and i fully support this. Our motorway speed limit of 70mph/100kph had been in existance since the first motorway was open in the early 60's.

Then, the vast majority of cars could only just about achieve that speed, had no power steering, drum brakes and and chrome bits that fell off.

Now we have abs, ebd, dsc, BBC and Sky etc and the speed limit is still the same. The logic sucks.

He/she was spotted this evening at the first interchange SZ road. Sitting just before me in the traffice jam. Its a nice plate number, but the problem is that it can be easily remembered... Actually this time the driver was OK... whoever it was did use their indicator on one occasion....





Who drives a black Cayenne plate no I 70036 ??
Offences as follows:
1) threw litter outside of her car while stopping at the traffic light
2) charged out from a T junction, potentially causing accident to on going traffic
3) spoke on the mobile phone within hands free
4) turn without signalling - twice[quote]

She looked Arabic, fair skinned, doesnt wear an abaya, totally at ease driving the turbo car - one would assume she has driven the car more than once. You mean that is arnie's girlfriend/wife?? :shock:
