Makes a change for a Brit to drive like an arse through an Arabian city centre than the reverse!

Still, the old adage of "their gaff, their rules" applies... I've been to Dubai, I enjoyed it but some of the stuff people get into trouble for wouldn't fly in the UK either, case in point: this article.

Must have been like the scene in Johnny English where he sets off all the cameras going through Switzerland.

That's the sort of fine that would financially screw you for life. Still, I imagine if he'd pulled that stunt here he would end up in jail.

Given recent reporting of his inability to pay the fine - prison looms. Pretty dumb place to play Johnny English!

Every chance he will end up in jail over there... Can't pay your debts? Off to the cells until you can, or the Crown Price lets you off.

I love it where it quotes, he wasn't aware of speed limits or rules.

Even more amazing he is not there yet ... Shows it is all about the money there as well then smile
