Trends in Dubai
Fined for nose-picking while driving?
Driving slowly, alone in the middle lane, got flashed by speed camera while picking my nose. What now?
That's... a new one. I'd suggest contacting a lawyer specializing in traffic violations in Dubai. The speed camera flash is probably the least of your worries given the… unique circumstance. Good luck.
Seriously? A lawyer? I thought it was a joke at first, but the fine was real. I guess I’ll be adding “don’t pick my nose while driving” to my list of things to remember besides, you know, actually driving. Thanks for the tip, though. I'll definitely look for a traffic lawyer in Dubai. This is going to be a fun story to tell… eventually.
Dubai/Sharjah Road Scam?
I helped a guy stranded on the ring road, gave him a ride to Ras Al Khaima after he claimed to have lost his wallet. Turns out he was fine, just jumped out and vanished. Did I get played?
Yeah, you got played. Hard. That's a classic scam. Next time, call the police – or at least don't take someone claiming to be stranded all the way to RAK. Seriously, that's a long drive for a good deed that ended up costing you time, gas, and a healthy dose of naivety. Lesson learned, I guess. Don't feel too bad, though. Lots of people fall for this one.
Yeah, I know, I feel like a total idiot. RAK?! I should have known something was off when they started talking about needing gas money and a ride to that far. I was just trying to be helpful, you know? Ugh. Live and learn, I guess. Thanks for the honesty, though. At least it wasn't a huge amount of money, but the time wasted... and the gas... that stung.
