Default Speed Cameras Abu Dhabi

I and a couple of colleagues have had a spawn of fines over the last month or so--we can't pin-point exactly where from, but our route is from Raha Beach heading towards AD, exit for Maqta Bridge but go straight on at the end, swing right onto the Al Ain road, exit for Musaffa, back onto the Al Ain Road heading for Maqta Bridge, then exit first right for the Subaru showroom. I'm usually good at spotting mobile cameras, but this one has eluded us all.

[And for those who say I shouldn't be speeding: bollocks, as per previous threads. To those who say just slow down for that bit: fair enough (and I have), but I'd still like to know how they got us 10+ times without any of us knowing.]

I've just remembered this rather excellent website a mate of mine made.

The camera on Saada (spelling?) Street always nearly gets me.

That's the annoying part. They move it around within a very small area, just to keep you guessing.

You continually miss my, albeit very subtle, declarations of love for you though.
