Re: Bloody Middle Eastern drivers!!
 

Prob 600, renewed my reg not long ago and all the fines were 600

Re: Bloody Middle Eastern drivers!!
 

obvioulsy you were only "just" going over the speed limit, some of the "flying variety" going down wacky races will be getting more than a 600 fine. especially if bb said he was doing 180 earlier.

Re: Bloody Middle Eastern drivers!!
 

ah i think BBoy said he was doing 109 in a 100 zone, that would constitute as a little over no? My fines show i was actually on one occasion doing quite a bit over the limit and i still got a 600 fine, and another showed 12 more and i still got a 600 fine, so not quite sure how they decide what fine they do give you? Again no real logic applied

Re: Bloody Middle Eastern drivers!!
 

yes he did say 109 in 100 but he also said that earlier in the day he was going 180! logic umh whats that?;)

Re: Bloody Middle Eastern drivers!!
 

Thanks for the link, Meow.

There are three speeds on the ticket, 80, 101 & 109. Plod said I was doing 110 in a 100 limit before sitting in his car and issuing the ticket--presumably after logging into the system. We'll see. The 180 was my friend on his way to work on a stretch where there sneaky mobile cameras are relatively easy to spot (I, err sorry, he hopes).;)

Forget the Middle Eastern drivers...many Brits here (UAE) should know better. :rolleyes:

Just keep below the speed limits ..you'll still get from A to B and NO fines ! :)

Re: Bloody Middle Eastern drivers!!
 

Sorry but absolutely no sympathy unless you were using hands-free at the time. Drivers using phones and/or over-speeding are the devils in disguise.:frown:

Re: Bloody Middle Eastern drivers!!
 

meow link where? ;)

now the only place that you can get away with driving 180 really is on the al ain road, but there are cameras there, or on the ad/dxb road where by you can legally do 160 but if you are caught doing 180 they will impound your car and throw lots of black points at you, yes you say that you will spot the cameras, well now with the new cameras they will watch out for speeders and the weavers etc and with the plate recognition big brother is watching you, 180 is way way too fast. which section of road are you "flying" on as i see the undercover white cars pulling plenty people over now.

Re: Bloody Middle Eastern drivers!!
 

Yep, without a disguise!

Re: Bloody Middle Eastern drivers!!
 

Disguise? Hardly.

And your chosen subject tonight, MacScot, is stating the bleeding obvious.

An earlier contestant, Mr BTB, was, however, unable to answer the question: "Then why don't you do just that?"

Re: Bloody Middle Eastern drivers!!
 

...it needs to be restated...can't get over the number of BEs here in the Middle East with speeding fines...I've never had one here (Dubai), Australia or the UK in decades of driving. Perhaps it is because I took advanced driving courses after passing my driving test.

Plus, when keeping within the speed limits, I mean the ones posted on road signs not when radar trap machines flash !

Re: Bloody Middle Eastern drivers!!
 

but can you compare uk with here, no not really, in uk you would be going along country roads that have bends in it and cows and sheep etc, here mostly the roads are like motorways and so the speed is much more. here you have to contend with cars and people.:ohmy: also the road signs would be accurate in the uk unlike here.

Re: Bloody Middle Eastern drivers!!
 

On the Bahrain - Saudi causeway speeding is a necessity unless you have a deathwish! The speed limit is 120, but I would guess average speed is more like 170 (and this is calculated including the slow lorries going 80), maybe slightly lower on the Bahraini side.

One of my colleagues was stopped by Saudi police for speeding on the causeway and given a SR50 (yes fifty) ticket....:thumbsup:
