Arrow DRA To Introduce Road Toll Soon!

There is a lot of talking going on to curb the chaotic Road situation in Dubai, and the Newly Formed Authority for Roads is in negotiation for introducing Road toll on drivers in Dubai!

As you are aware that DRA is currently financed by Gov as its only may to function, I think now for them to start to function by themselves its very imminent that they will introduce the Road Toll...


Ok peeps, starting cutting some of your bills.

people here know how to manage things by hooks or crooks! yes banning the 3yrs old cars might help at a certain level, but then everbody will take bank loans to buy latest KIA's.

I think the creek is more effective, you wouldn't even need to patrol it, if anybody tries to swim across they melt before they reach the other side, or have their limbs bitten off by massive barracudas.
