Newspaper stories

Some stories from the paper caught my eye today, especially as they were all on the same two page spread.

So... a few observations: 

8 out of top 10 - Emiratis

Other 2 , Egyptian and Indian

What no Westeners??

I seriously think that fines and impounding are not a deterrent, especially to Emiratis who mostly have more than one car, some several - and even if their favourite car is impounded, they just go out and buy another one the same! They just don't care about fines and impounding. Send them to jail - maybe that would work?

So, next two stories that have an interesting contrast...

So four years for having a bit of puff and 1 year for killing someone while drink driving. The sentencing here is so inconsistent and often just defies logic. The drug guy even volunteered a lot of information he didn't need to, admitted what he had done and was very helpful to the police - and then gets 4 years. This place is just mental sometimes....
