Distribution of Traffic Fines in Dubai as compared to South Africa
Wednesday, June 17th, 2009Read an intersting article today stating that Dubai had issued more than 107 000 traffic fines last month (May 2009). Now you and I because we live in the land of corrupt Metro Police who use the Traffic Cameras as if they were rigged Casino Machines would think that these were issued for speeding fines, after all Mr Wayne Minnaar’s primary job is to remind us how these speeding fines are supposedly making our roads safer hence the reason that 95% of fines issued are for speeding.
“
According to the release, more than 3,660 fines were issued for stopping in undesignated areas while 2,994 fines were given for motorists of heavy trucks for not adhering to lane discipline. More than 2,700 fines were issued for parking on pavements and around 2,600 fines for stopping on the side of the road.”
Well guess what, the least amount of the 107 000 fines were issued for speeding! More than 25,000 of the fines were for not adhering to lane discipline while more than 11,000 fines were given for blocking the flow of traffic. The third in the list is not wearing seat belts with more than 4,100 fines issued.Come on Wayne, get off your #$s and start issuing fines like they did, maybe then we will believe that you are actually making the roads safer!
