i think he only got 6 months cos he was local. but i do remember my uncle running over a guy and he had to spend 2 weeks in jail and didnt have to pay the blood money cos the guy he ran over came out of coma.

6 months is too little :S it should have been 1 year. but i guess since he is a local driver he will get less time then the rest of us.

I really can't bealive they give him only 6 months for that. I'm curious if a foreign will do that, i guess the sentence will not be les than 10 years or who knows how much .. And ofcourse after one year he will have the driving licence back :roll:
Anyway i dont think will be easy for him to stay those 6 months in jail.
reviewer has right for sure are 2 different ways of law one for locals and one for foreigners.

As far a I know people doing time have separate cells according to one's natioanlity, who knows what kind of preference they give to locals. 8)

Plus I don't believe not having his license will stop him from driving when he gets out. Sword of justice my donkey! :P

No preference as it was honest mistake. If you make honest mistake then you should not be treated like murderer.

An honest mistake is still a manslaughter conviction. You should not go unpunished or under-punished for taking a human life.

He didn't run over the police officer on purpose. The guy was just tired and couldn't see that the car in front had stopped he did not even see the guy until he was hit.
The family of the driver is very sorry and they are trying to do what they can to make amend for the trouble. He did not even know he was there, no intent to kill.
It was accident.

"Reckless driving". On purpose or not, he killed a man because he couldn't follow the law. He deserves a more stern punishment.

Yes we have to think at that too, he didn't want to kill him, it was an accident.But the thing is they give him only 6 months if was a foreigner im sure they will give him much more
redtilldead
if you guys see the video on youtube, you will realize that the driving was pretty reckless.
6 months jail?? what a joke!

Give me a break guys, He killed him by mistake and he is paying 200 k penalty, Also, this punishemnt is similar in other countries

If he was a foreigner and the victim was a local......would it result in the same conviction.....most probably not.... :roll:

reviewer has right for sure are 2 different ways of law one for locals and one for foreigners.
Dubai has certain laws, and it applies to everyone (local or otherwise), thats why you go to court. The court decides how long you go to jail for, it is different if you intended to kill the person or if it was an accident.
The only difference between a local and an expat is that the expat gets deported, they cant deport the local can they??
I cant believe you people just look for something to complain about !!!
MC
Yeah imagine that was your father then, would you have the same feelings? I really doubt it.
And I don't care what other countries would do, this was a case of reckless driving. The driver knows that he can harm someone based on the way he is driving and he did. He didn't intend to kill him but he did know the risks. He chose to take that risk at the expense of another human life. Yes, we will be complaining.

give you a break? a drunk driver killing someone and you're asking for a break? mate get your head checked.
6 months is not enough, its still manslaughter - this whole concept of blood money is down right retarded - there is no price for human life.

Take it easy my friend, You have to be rational not emotional, the justice system decides the punishment based on evidents and facts, all people are equal in front of the justice system, I gave you 3 examples from other countries where they got less penlty.
So dont be emotional :D

uaebadooo i think nearly all the expats are unhappy that emaratiiiiis get off lightly and cheaply. this guy is only spending 6months in jail and if it had been some expat, the poor expat would have to spend more then a year in a jail where the circumstances, evidece and facts would have been the same. and yes u r right in other countries it is different.

My friend the Law is executed equally on all people, Judges have to swear In front of the Ruler that they will apply the Law Eually on all people, Just if you go to a police station and u file a complain agains a local guy who have offended you let say with bad words, and u have witnesses, the case cant be closed without going to court or if you close it

By pure dumb luck, I came across the video on the net.
Car broken down on side of road. Police car stopped in the MIDDLE of the road (airport tunnel). Cop steps out, checks out the breakdown and starts walking back to his patrol car.
The policeman was walking in the MIDDLE of the road, towards his patrol car which he or his partner, for some reason, parked in the MIDDLE of the road.
As the cop was casually walking towards his patrol car, a Prado swerved and missed the cop first. The cop kept walking casually. Our killer friend in a RAV4 was right behind the Prado, and as the Prado swerved away quickly, our RAV4 killer was caught off-guard by seeing a guy in the MIDDLE of the road, and ran into him, while missing the patrol car.
In the video, it is obvious the cop shares blame for this, but this will never get reported in the papers.

I have a GREAT example for you. It didn't involve a death (but it sure came close)
One of my best friends was driving home, she made a right hand turn onto a small road. She drove less than 50 meters before turning on her left hand blinker, and executing a left hand turn. She was hit by an emirate national who was trying to pass her on the left.
he knocked her car over 50 meters down the road. He completely demolished and totaled her car. The accident was so loud all of the neighbors in her villa complex heard it and came out to see what happened. The damage was so extensive she had a fractured skull, fractured collar bone, broken sternum, 3 broken ribs, a punctured lung, and a broken hip. She lapsed into a coma and had to have holes drilled into her skull.
He was arrested and taken to jail. For one night. only one night.
They have had to fly her back to her home country for "proper medical care" which no one in the UAE could give her.
so a man who accelerated to who knows what speed in the span of less than 50 meters, makes an illegal attempt to pass her, completely destroying her car, sending her to the hospital and now back to her home country and he did 1 night in jail. The police officer I spoke to said, "we sent him home with a stern talking to." wTF? How does that help my friend recover over the next 6 to 9 months from this a$$hole who was recklessly driving?
No apology, no punishment...
Had I struck an emirate doing the same thing, i would be in jail for months.
The law is NOT equal. Maybe it is supposed to be, but it is not. WE know of people getting away with speeding, reckless driving, and many other crimes that are "brushed away."

First of all I feel sorry for what happened to ur friend, we have unfortunetly some careless drivers and that why MOI is imposing more strict laws such as black points, but when It comes to law enforcment I still Say Everyone is equal, You know now Embassies of different countries get involved in Police Cases, the mentioned above is not a UAE local
