Speeding tickets
This morning I went into the office and was presented with 2 tickets for 200dhs each for being flashed by a camera.
I've only had the car 3 weeks and already had 550dhs worth of fines......would be cheaper to use taxis!
It didn't tell me where I was caught, so can someone pls tell me where the cameras are??? And the speed limits???
Everyone drives fast on the SZR - do you all get tickets????

The cameras are the completely obvious boxes with flashes on the median.
Speed limit is 100kph through the trade center corridor, then 120 all the way to AD
