Car Accidents
Two pieces of reporting in 7 days yesterday............
1) About the brit (papers words) that knocked over someone trying to cross the SZR 6 lane motorway and the report said she could get 2 years in prison and deported, her case comes up this month I believe.
2) About a gulf woman (papers words again) who was doing 140km per hr in a mini bus on the Al Ain to Dubai rd and killed 3 people, she was fined 20000dhs, a years ban and 200000 each blood money to each of the victims families.
No mention of jail at all
Which one deserves jail?

And breath...
However, until we know what sentence the second driver is given we won't know the fairness of it. Unfortunately the papers here are full of shit and make assumptions all the time. I suppose in law there is a possibility of jail, however, it is probably up to the discretion of the Court and the circumstances of the accident.
I am worried if she is charged and maybe made to pay blood money that it may give the green light for a few more "accidents" on SZR.

Re: Car Accidents
In theory, she may have been trying to scare the guy, and ended up misjudging the distance....
And in theory, the van driver could have been -as reported- going over the speed limit but by on kph.
But if these are the kinds of contortions we get ourselves into to make the news report fit logic.... I dunno.
