They have cameras of one sort or an other at nearly every junction and all major roads are littered with Speed Cameras.

Jump a Red = big trouble
Cross Yellow line = Big Trouble
Racing / Wreckless Driving (me) = Big Trouble
Speeding = 20 Dollar fine lol.

I love the Do the crime do the Time post lol, where do these people live.....

although its probly your own fault for not obeying the speed laws(i'm not aware of them) but that could be another reason bush tried to sell us out to the dubai ports(i'm no democrat, just a severely dissapointed bush voter).. i hate to get political but if they're so wealthy, it just makes me wonder what idiots r involved with this... ok sorry ive had a couple beers.. ignore me

So Dubai police have jailed the Corvette for 60 days

Wonder if the car battery will be ok with it sitting idle for so long.

Worst part of all is that in the mean time a guy from work has had his mustang Chipped yadda yadda yadda and is now branding about 425Bhp from his 2004 Gt.. fastest car in company and any other general wind up

Only 55 days to go I do hope that none of its prison mates try and bum him... :o
what a backwards country...they jail the car instead of the driver. I bet the vette learned its lesson now.
