Astonishing "NIP"
Discussion
A friend of mine is visiting me from dubai. He arrived last friday...
Last night whilst sat in a restaurant waiting for our food the following text message arrived on his phone:
"Dudai EGov Sorry! New traffic violation has been registered on your traffic ID. For more details call 04-2685555"
Chances fo avoiding that fine are low - even though it can't of been him since he was here at the time...... Arab law assumes guilt even more so than we do...
I wonder how long it will be before the Scamera boys have their toys linked directly to our bank accounts and mobile phone networks...

Abu Dhabi police install high-tech system to display speed of approaching vehicles
posted on 27/09/2003
The General Directorate of Abu Dhabi Police has installed e-screens on several roads to warn and control drivers. Eng Mohammed Ahmed Al Aqeedi, Technical Director of the project, said the UAE is the first country to use this high-tech system. The e-screen will display the speed of a car approaching it from a considerable distance, warning it and the motorists behind to reduce speed.
It will also count the number of cars passing by and record the time at which they passed, through a central data processing unit. The system is SMS-enabled, allowing the police Control Centre to send messages to all e-screens in the network reminding motorists to abide by traffic rules. Motorists will also be reminded to fasten seat belts. (The Gulf News)
