Re: More madness from UAE Courts...
Hmmmm... I've been conned into driving so many times then!
I was gonna ask if pregnant women can physically fit between the seat and the steering wheel, but I'd probably get tons of sarky responses....
Maybe I am confusing planes and cars ... When I started driving here I tried shifting the car into reverse and ended up opening the window.

I have only heard some of the stuff on the news and haven't read the full story but I gained the impression that the blood money was for the guy in the car which she hit rather than the baby. If not, it seems nonsensical even from a UAE perspective. Please correct me if I am wrong, which is probably the case.

The blood money is to be paid to the next sprog, for loss of sibling, by the sounds of it....

At the end of the day, if morbidly obese people can drive, so can pregnant woman... if anything we're more careful drivers!I thought I read that the blood money is to be paid to the unborn baby's next of kin, which I would assume was one of the parents. Madness really - the wife paying the hubby for the kid.

That is correct and no one has mentioned the father in all of this his comments remain out of the media and I wonder why that would be ?
