Take a guess at the number of traffic fines that the Abu Dhabi police issued in the first half of 2009. Ready?
*Drum roll, please!* A grand total of 705,377! In six months! According to
The National report, that evens out to about "one traffic fine for every second person in the emirate"!

I'm embarrassed to admit that one of the 433,202 speeding fines is mine: a hefty AED 700 (equivalent to 140 euros or 190 dollars).
I will never speed again.

Ah, that's nothing. I had to pay over 4,000 AED when I last renewed my license ;-)
