How can you spot a dubai newbie?
They actually believe this hoax, which, if you search this site, has been passed around for the better part of 2 years.

Yep, have also seen similar emails - only difference is the number of 0's in the fine
The penalties are still too low - I mean look at the umpteen cases where reckless drivers have gotten away paying a couple of thousands after they've killed someone (actually their insurance companies pay it) - the amount of diya paid is a joke. I think they should be jailed for 20 years and driving license taken away.
Again I've seen fines being waived through 'waasta' - so what's the point?

Clearly, it does.
Where did that information come from? What's with the flowery language?
Sure doesn't sound kosher to me, no matter who you're married to.
