Hoorah! Best year in 11 for fines!

[Asterix]

AED 1060 - 1 speeding fine, couple of parking and Salik fines.

Best ever year in the 11 I've been here - worst was around AED 20k!

That included a couple of 'large' amounts to pay off three Emirates to not impound my car - That's what happens when you do Festival City to RAK Ceramics in 24 minutes...

Try the UK 12 points with an 3 year period and a 6 month ban go over 12 a second time 12 months third time 2 years

I drove like a lunatic for 10 years in UK and only got 3 points ! Ive heard they tightened up on speeding but lets not hope too much ,

Proplem in australia is they have unmarked speed cameras everywhere , even more than Dubai ! lol

Somehow I never actually got points or a single ticket in the UK (worst I got was one of those illegally issued parking tickets at Mcdonalds which I refused to pay) helped knowing where the fixed cameras where but never got caught by a mobile one.

3 years, no speeding tickets and one parking ticket for the first two years. Nothing last year.

Nothing in the UK either.

Either that or a speeding fine way over the limit - I have experience of those...
