You know the truth is these cameras are not a deterrent for most of them, you can spot them a good distance away. Increases in fines don’t seem to work either, I was reading the comments from 7 days and one comment was about a guy who budgets 1500/month for tickets.
Speed in itself doesn’t kill but sure as heck increases damage and loss of life when combined with idiocy. I hope black points are implemented and they are given for things like unsafe lane changes, tailgating, driving cars without headlights, taillights, brake lights, etc.
Maybe it is the CDN in me talking but I’m also a big fan of daytime running lights, I think this should be implemented worldwide, in Canada when it was done in 1991 there was a statistical drop in number of fatalities and in a place where a good portion of people tint windows and driving speeds are high making cars a little more visable is not a bad thing.
Oh I read somewhere that the Dubai gov generates AED 1million/day in fines but not sure how reliable the source was.
