Angry Dubai Police

An idiot bumps into my OH's car (from the back) this morning on SZR. OH calls police. police take ages to arrive. Meanwhile the idiot tells my husband he has no insurance, registration expired, no licence etc etc. The bump appears minor, idiot tries to convince my OH to "let it go". OH is getting a bit impatient, calls me, I say absolutely not, nail the b@$t****. So he waits. police arrive.

The idiot calls 4 of his cronies, all cosy up to the police (all discussing something in Arabic) and the police then say to my husband "very minor - no problem", why not let it go.

OH says no, so police say fine, if you want a "green slip" for insurance, you will have to come to the station and file a report. OH is mad by this time, calls 999 again to complain. magically the idiot produces his insurance papers....

OH finally got the "green slip". Idiot threatens to "sue" OH for "wasting his time"


Tomorrow, will have to find out why he didn't get the police report immediately. I'm not going to let this go - I am fuming

Oh dear, deep breaths, i know exactly what u mean, it can be so frustrating and annoying, but its not worth your time and energy filing a complaint. cos they will prob file in the bin.

Plus you will get even more fustrated trying to file the complaint, just not worth it.

Have a nice evening

Next time, tell the nice Mr Policeman that you have information that police officers have been gang raping maids and prostitutes, usually anally, and intimidating them into not reporting the matter. Threaten to inform HH about it.

You will find the nice Mr Policeman soon begins to see the accident from your point of view.

Well, it worked for a (non-Arabic-speaking) friend of mine...........
