I was visiting Dubai from the US for about a week. Where I’m from, driving 5 or 10 mph over the speed limit is normal and accepted, to the point where there’s no risk of getting pulled over or getting a ticket as long as you’re egregiously above the speed limit (more than like 10 mph above). I thought it would be the same case here, and thus would regularly drive my rental 130 kph in 120 zones, and so on. Apparently, they have fucking cameras on the highway here and have managed to catch every instance of my speeding “under 20 kph above the posted limit” (as it says on the fine). On top of my rental, I have to now pay the equivalent of $1200 US in speeding fines. TL;DR: IF YOU DON’T KNOW THE DRIVING NORMS FOR A FOREIGN COUNTRY, DON’T ASSUME SHIT. YOU WILL BE SCREWED OVER.
