Wasn't looking for any sympathy and did my time and learnt a hard lesson.

It might help to know there are a number of people who are taking up the case of the UAE's immature and unreasonable legal system:

Jail was shit and boreing but doable if you can get enough books. Food was crap but you could get crisps etc. When they told me I was reduced to a month could not show how happy I was as I was in with the real crims in court and they had just been told they had got 10 year and upwards. A month in jail isn't a lesson at all...what if you had killed somone? Smashed into the back of my car and killed my boy or someone's else's kid. Is a month being fed and watered punishment? Is feeling sorry enough? They were more than ok with you. Are you allowed to drive now? N. |
Re: Boyfriend Banged up in Dubai pending Visa Issue - November 2009
Yes i'm allowed to drive now and I haven't gone near a car since after drinking all you have said is correct and I was young and stupid. I can't change the past but I can change the future. They were ok with me but the episode made me realise what I had done and I changed my ways. I should not have needed the lesson but I learnt from it.

Maybe should have said hardcore crims. Lots of Drug dealers and murder's in the same 10 foot square cell.
Shit yourself and hope you come out in one peice and move on, glad that you have been given the chance to move on. |

A beer is within the legal limit for driving or operating machinery in most countries of the world...few people are affected in significantly measurable ways by one regular beer, wine or spirit if they have no alcohol already in their system. Eight pints on the other hand would get even a pisshead like me thinking it's time to forget about driving anything - crawl home and prostrate myself before the porcelain god, Armitage Shanks. N. |
