Hi,
On Sunday I was caught by radar (I saw the flash) on the way to Al Ain and then again on the way back to Abu Dhabi. :(
I was also flashed a few weeks ago on the 17th on the DXB-AUH highway.
I've been checking for fines, but nothing has come up yet via sms or the dubai police website.
My question is are the fines sent via computer automatically to the police systems, or are they manually collected every week/month and then will I see the fines?
Was i lucky? Did it just flash without film/ or was the film full? :) :)
Thanks!

your probably going to have to still pay. it usually takes a while before the fines show up on the dubai police website or anything else....
have fun :D

For fines in the city, they come up immediately. Atleast for me they did last year. I was bored and checking online. I saw one that i got jsut a few hours previously!!
I'll have fun, thanks. :P

I think you will find it merely depends on when they check the Cameras, I doubt if they are yet to centralise them on a common data base.
Try using your Cruise Control if you have it, seems like 2 shots on one trip is a real waste of money.
ineedacoolnick
Thanks S&O.
No cruise control unfortunately. Which reminds me to post in the Auto forum about how much i'll get for my car. :)
Silly Al Ain road. :( :)

It's real simple!
Don't speed, don't get flashed :roll:

Another answer is:
get a Radar Detector! :lol: :lol:
Sometimes, the flash goes off but there is no more film/space for the image to upload.
This happened to me on the Al Ain road as well and i was *cough* within the speed limit *cough* but i never got a fine.

ive just memorized where the radars are...pretty simple really.

Just what I wanted to hear yorky. :)
Another friend of mine told me the same thing...
Guess i'll have to wait...
Btw, do u know u can sms 4488 and get your fines via sms?
Anyone know how much this sms costs? ( I have postpaid so cant check via credit etc.)
bushra21

Not sure how much it costs, but I check all the cars weekly on 4488. I keep encountering a mobile either to or from work on a daily basis and he's a sneaky buggar as he hides it behind bushes in the central reservation! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
ineedacoolnick
Lol.
i dont speed.
going 20 above the speed limit aint speeding, even when the speed limit is 160. :) :)
i know the radars in dubai...its the highway ones that r sneaky.
and this was the 1st time i was goin 2 al ain from ad..
yorky500
agree, 20km/h above the stated speed limit is allowed, its what happens above that where it is not! hahahahahah

i did get caught by that :oops: :oops: Who would have thought something actually got fixed in Dubai.
MaaaD
ineedacoolnick remember that Al Ain would be AD police jurisdiction so it would have to be passed on to Dubai Police (i am assuming you have a Dubai registered car) so it will take more time than when you get a ticket in dubai.
But as yorky said sometimes its full and even if it flashes you wont get a ticket .. good luck !
BTW yorky, how is that radar detector doin ? ;)
