The Traffic Division greets you and wishes to draw your attention to

deportation must be provided.
4. Six black points are given.
5. The driving license shall be withdrawn in case of committing this
offence twice, and shall not be returned to its owner until he/she
passes a difficult test and pays a fine of 3000 Dirham.
6. After all of the above procedures have been completed, the
vehicle will be released.
Therefore, please pass this information to all of your colleagues
and acquaintances as well as drivers working for you or your company
in articipation of our campaign to clarify this issue and to
emphasize that any offence will not be tolerated and the above

Maybe we should start a poll :wink:

As long as you start a poll and not another lame game!
Well the blacked out local-driven SUV's are not the majority, are they? And besides recklessness and disregard for safety is an age thing more than anything...

I don't think that it is official !! cause according to the local law it should be announced through the media. Did anyone read it in the newspaper ??
then plz stop spreading rumors unless u r suree 100% !!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I tend to agree. The email that went around was too well written to have come from the Ministry of Information.

The official information was supplied by an official journalist who received the official press release from an official officer of the Dubai Police Official Traffic Department. As soon as the official presses run...it will be official.

OK...a dude just walked into my office, because the police impounded his car for being stuck in the middle of a junction when the light turned red!
Now the funny part:
They wanted to keep it for 1 month, but in the end agreed to just 3 days! Not only that, they don't have enough space to store it, so they wanted him to 'leave it at his house'!
Thats a killer!!
