I suggest that next time you don't park in front of Sheikh Maktoum's palace.

I like the principle--fines (and points, presumably) depending on who you cut up. If the pecking order were aligned to the sociial pecking order here, I could cut up a certain nationality all day who hog the fast-but-one-lane doing just under the speed limit. Mind you, I do anyway...

Err.. what's a Black Point? Some traffic related punishment by the sounds of it?
Here in Saudi, we're only just getting to grips with speed cameras all over the place. And boy, is the Traffic Department benefitting from all the fines? Yes, it is.

Black points are like the points in the UK - get 24 and you lose your licence.
3 points for parking on the pavement seems a bit harsh when the penalty for "Killing other people" is 12 points

No points system here yet in KSA, just keep paying the fines and you're ok.

I've recently sold our car, and honestly I don't miss car ownership. Been using the metro, avoiding fines and walking more. All great things!

I checked my traffic fines yesterday for the first time in a year. 2009-10 was 5500AED (Al Ain mainly - passing on way to Muscat). I soon found out where the speed cameras are. 2010-11 is only 300AED. Bargain!
